To help you understand specifically which piece of land your new title is referring to, just match the Extension Number of the new land description with the Descriptor Number located on the pre-converted title. It's really that easy. As such, the titles to the land are ideally suited to a quadrilateral grid creating large parcels of land each consisting of 36 mile square townships. Each square parcel within the township is known as a "section" each being one mile square and consisting of acres each.
Title to each section may be further subdivided either into half-mile square acre "quarters" and acre sixteenths "legal subdivisions" or LSD's. Urban lands and smaller parcels may then be created either by survey plans or, prior to the implementation of the new Land system in , by metes and bounds description. The First or Prime Meridian was established at 97 degrees 27' It passes just west of Winnipeg.
The events surrounding the choice of the First Meridian constitute a colorful chapter of western Canadian history. The location of the First Meridian was chosen because it marked the western limit of settlement. Townships and Ranges Using the principal Meridian as a reference line for East and West direction and using the 49 degree parallel of latitude as a reference line for the North and South direction, the basic grid system took its form.
The numbers that run North and South count the Township lines and the numbers that run East and West count the Range lines. A full Township consists of 36 Sections and is approximately thirty-six miles square in size. The basic grid is formed by the intersection of Township lines running East and West and Range lines running North and South.
West of Range 30 is Range 31 and so on until you reach the 2nd Meridian. Township to Section Townships are divided into Sections. A full Township consists of 36 Sections and is approximately six miles square in size. Each section contains about acres. The sections are numbered starting in the northeast corner of the township with section 1 and ending in the southeast corner with section Sections 16 and 36 of every township were deeded to the State of Colorado when Colorado was formed.
Section 16, the school section , was leased to generate funds to support public schools. Section 36 was leased to fund state government operations. Some other sections and parts of sections in Washington County were also transferred to state ownership when the state was formed in What are Half-Sections, Quarters, 80s, 40s? For the purposes of describing land locations, each section is subdivided into quarter-sections of acres. The "Quarters" are subdivided into forty acre plots known as "40s".
A half-section is two adjoining quarter-sections. An "80" is two adjoining 40 acre subdivisions. To illustrate the system, the "forty" that was deeded by A. What are Lots? No, there aren't any complete townships. How many incomplete townships are there? Count them before you read the answer There are four incomplete townships on the Glendale map.
When you need to do this on the Folsom, NM quadrangle, you will need to survey carefully look over the map and determine if there is a complete township on the map. Given the size of a township relative to a , map scale of Folsom, NM quad is the same as that for Glendale below , it is unlikely that there would be more than one complete congressional township on the map area.
Once you've done that, you need to count how many incomplete townships there are. Be careful that you do not count the sections. Township T. The City of Glendale would be in T. To see the divisions between the townships, we have to zoom in to the edges of the map area and look for the red text. The image below this large map shows an enlargement of such a division along the top edge of the map where the orange township boundary intersects the map edge.
See below where the orange line separates R. Section: The basic unit of the system, a square piece of land one mile by one mile containing acres. Township: 36 sections arranged in a 6 by 6 square, measuring 6 miles by 6 miles. Sections are numbered beginning with the northeast-most section 1 , proceeding west to 6, then south along the west edge of the township and to the east 36 is in the SE corner.
Range: Assigned to a township by measuring east or west of a Principal Meridian. Range Lines: The north to south lines which mark township boundaries. Township Lines: The east to west lines which mark township boundaries.
Principal Meridian: The reference or beginning point for measuring east or west ranges. Base line: Reference or beginning point for measuring north or south townships.
