A complete list of lands sold can be found here.

With the Land Banking Program, it is now possible for the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation to sell land to the public and put the proceeds in a Land Banking Trust Fund. The combined funds from multiple sales can then be used to purchase lands which produce a higher level of income than the lands sold. This results in a greater income to the trust beneficiaries (U of M, MSU, Common Schools, etc.).
