Indiana State Library plat holdings and Indiana Memory; St. Joseph County Recorder remote-access record; the 1875 county atlas and the 1911 Ogle atlas at bibliographic and text strength
The plat limb of the Roselawn course was run at web strength, and what it yields is the access structure whole and the plates at the strength their carriers allow. The State Library holds the county's plat books in print and microfilm, with selected items digitized on Indiana Memory; the Recorder's own remote access runs through two services — a free limited tier, and a paid per-search tier, which was documented and not purchased, nothing being spent. The 1911 Ogle atlas's Clay Township plate exists as a full image (the State Library's copy, IR912.772 S143a) — an image carrier only: its landowner layer is not readable at text strength, and no name is taken from it. The 1875 atlas was executed at text strength: its index anchor prints "Clay Township 62" verbatim, its plate's landowner layer comes through the digitization garbled and illegible, and its narrative — a different strength, and labelled as such — corroborates the settlement course the land fragment already carries: Menzo Webster on Section 23 in 1834, and Joseph and Stephen Ulery on Sections 24 and 35 in 1834. The original Roselawn plat, the instrument that would carry the townsite's own lot course name by name, was not reached; the gap stands, its settlers now documented rather than general: the State Library's plat holdings at print strength, the Recorder's record through its access tiers, and the atlas plates at image strength in a live browser.
