But what would be the rule applied to what comes from this map?


Anything that was navigable at the time of the earliest possible accurate map is public water. Anything that wasn't is private. Also they need to have a program where the state will buy back marsh from landowners if the landowner wants to sell.

Whether natural or man-made?

therein lies the problem. if you go look at the old GLO surveys from the 1800s, they were not able to traverse alot of the marsh. Picture trying to walk thru the marsh with a 66' chain. basically all they hit were corners of townships and some sections.
