The cession of 1832 is the whole of the townsite's passage out of Indian title, and nothing since has qualified it. No reserve was carved from the ground, no grant preceded the cession on it, and no later instrument re-opened it: the title runs from the Potawatomi cession of 26 October 1832 through the federal surveys and sales to the plat the Antrims laid out and the town that stands on it. In the record reached there is no tribal trust land in Liberty Township today; the township's one large public holding, Potato Creek State Park — six square miles of it, designated in 1969 and dedicated as a recreation area in 1977 — is state ground, carried in the Story of North Liberty section at township strength. The land file of the depth audit will test this section against the tract books; as the record stands, the taking is single, dated, and whole.
