Townships are rectangular areas, typically 6 miles square, and are the horizontal rows in the PLSS grid. Each township is divided into 36 sections, each approximately 1 square mile (640 acres) in size. Sections can be further subdivided into quarter sections, quarter-quarter sections, or irregular government lots. Sections are numbered sequentially within a township, starting in the northeast corner and moving west and then east in a checkerboard pattern. The PLSS is a system of rectangular grids, but in practice, it can be difficult to maintain perfect squares due to natural terrain and other factors. The PLSS is the basis for federal land ownership and is used to describe land locations in many parts of the United States. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
