An
Ideal Section |
The "Ideal" township is a 6 mile by 6 mile quadrangle
that contains 36 square miles & allows the land to be divided
in a rectangular method. This method utilizes a principal meridian
& baseline to originate from. Townships are numberd north &
south from the baseline. They are also measured east & west with
respect to the principal meridian by range numbers. The north &
west lots of each township are designated to compensate for discrepancies
that may occur in that township.

The "Ideal" section is
one square mile containing 640 acres. It is 5,280 feet by
5,280 feet & is divided up by quarter sections. A section can
be divided several times by repeating variations & combinations
of this method. |
