Public Land Rectangular Surveys (USPLS)
• Townships, square with six miles on each side, are numbered with reference to a baseline and principal meridian.
• actually, few townships are truly square due to convergence of the meridians.
• Ranges are the distances and directions from baseline and meridian expressed in numbers of townships.
• Every four townships, a new baseline is established so that orthogonal meridians can remain north oriented.
