Detailed explanation-1: -Townships are subdivided into SECTIONS. Since each township is six miles by six miles, township contains 36 square miles, each one forming a section. These are identified with a number based on their position.
Detailed explanation-2: -In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System, a section is an area nominally one square mile, containing 640 acres, with 36 sections making up one township on a rectangular grid. Townships are the horizontal rows and ranges are the vertical rows in the PLSS.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many parcels of land are smaller than an entire section. They sometimes are the size of a quarter section. Each section is divided into 4 quarters, each being 1/4 square miles, or 160 acres. Each of the quarter sections is labeled with a quadrant direction.
