CLAY TOWNSHIP · NEW PLAT, 2 JULY 1999 · 33 PARCELS
Wild Wing Plantation is the Clay Township member of this rank, and like Horizons Edge it carries its date in its own strings: "00-01 New Plat Trans #4595, 7-2-99" — a new plat of 2 July 1999, as the banked 2000s-additions article printed it. Its 33 parcels stand on Clay ground west of the Harris line (centroid −86.1832, 41.7362), at a median lot of 0.42 acre over some 16 acres, every parcel improved in the single-family code — a finished plat. Its name is the register's most imported: "Plantation," a word with no Indiana survey history, borrowed whole from the southern resort-development vocabulary of the 1990s, and paired with a waterfowl "Wild Wing" on ground a mile from the Juday Creek plats — marketing language at its most placeless, on a plat whose paper is otherwise the most precisely dated in this section. The contrast is the character: by 1999 a Granger plat's name was chosen for buyers who might never ask where the name came from, while its instrument was recorded with a surveyor's exactness.
Named gap — Wild Wing Plantation's proprietor of record: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Clay Township books), where the Trans #4595 instrument itself is filed.
