The descriptions are generally read from front to back. The lots are numbered from 1 to 4 in an east-to west direction or in a north-to-south direction except in section 6, which lies in the northwest corner of the township. Similar lots may be formed on the south and east sides of a township when these boundaries are defective as shown in Figure 3.
To calculate acres by hand, multiply your length and width in feet to get square feet. Try our length conversion tools, if needed. Then divide by 43, to determine the size of the land in acres. You can quickly find the square footage of an area using our square feet area calculator. Townships have an area of 36 square miles, more or less, and are each further divided into 36 sections. Each square, six miles by six miles is called a township. Since each township is six miles by six miles, township contains 36 square miles, each one forming a section.
Sections are further divided into quarters. These are the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest quarters. Each of these usually contain acres. The smallest quarter is given followed by the largest quarter, then the section, and then the township and range.
These are identified with a number based on their position. Note that to the east of section 36 will be section 31 of the next range but same township, and to the south of section 36 will be section 1 of the next township but the same range.
Sections are further divided into quarters. The northwesternmost section in the township is section 6. Below it in the second row is section 7. This row is numbered toward the east. This snakelike pattern is continued so that the southwesternmost section is section 31 and the southeasternmost section is section Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search.
