This is common, the first Deed which created a tract of land included an easement to access it (known as an Appurtenant Easement).
Then subsequent Deeds transferring the tract often make no mention of the Easement but the Easement transfers automatically by operation of law because it is Appurtenant, meaning it is attached to the land.
If you are patient and figure out the indexes at the County Recorder's office you may be able to follow your chain of title back, you may find a Deed that has the easement.
The other possibilities are: implied easement (when a tract is cut out of a larger tract, an access easement may be implied if not expressly declared), easement by necessity, and prescriptive easement.

The county official will be the holder of these documents, but they aren't tasked with doing the research or resolving these issues until they are made to do it(they would become viewers in the resolution of access here).....you need to hire a title search done, frankly I don't know what that might cost there.
The road I see is coming from the west, it stops a bit short of the line marking off your west boundary, but those computer generated lines are often "off", sometimes by quite a bit, and I just have a feeling that road is intended to "get" to your parcel, I could be completely wrong about that however. the white lines also indicate something,,,maybe local trails

It's in Marquette County, Michigan?
They have on-line indexes you can look at. Looking up names (your name, your grantor's name, etc) is free or they have a pay service where you have more search options.
