Aceable Real estate Section 3 Chapter 2 Rectangular Survey System Flashcards Township Rows are numbered howConsecutively north and south of a baseline What is a row of a town ship called first tier lying North of a baseline Township 1 North, or T1N Principal MeridiansAlso longitude lines that serve as principle meridians and latitude lines that serve as baselines TiersThe areas of land that township lines create6 miles wideRun vertical Each 36 square mile township can be divided into 36 individual mile sections Dividing sectionsSections get divided further in rectangular survey systemSince each section is 1 square mileand 1 section s 640 acresa section can be divided into halves and quartersand each section is labeled by location How many miles would half a township be in acres 320 acres as it it half a township which is 640 acres Every acre has how many feet43,560 To find acreage what do you need to do to find acerage if haveN1/2 of SW1/4 of NE1/4 Multiply640 acres x 1/2 x 1/4x 1/4=acres640 acres x .50x .25 x .25=20 acresor to find half of somethingdivide by 2 or multiply by .50640 acres divided by 2 divided by 4 divided by 4=20 acresSo take 640 acres and divide by 2=320Then divide 320 by 4=80Then divide 80 by 4=20 acresANSWER

20 ACRES

Meridians in a surveyor systemLongitide lines running North and SouthThey segment the globe along earths poles Town ship linesRun WEST to EASTAre parallel to baselinealso 6 miles apartRun horizontal Each square mile contains how many acres 640 To find square footage of an area on town ship if have 20 acres Multiply the acerage by 43560 square feet per acre x 20 acres =871,200 square feet What is most common form for surveyors to use Rectangular survey systemmeridians and Parallels What does T1N R1N meanTown ship is located on the First tier North of the baseline and one range column east of Principal median If we are talking about a 1/4 of a section in the northeast corner of secton 1 . what does that mean in a township NE1/4 of section 1 would be 160 acresas one whole section is 1 mile or 640 sections so it was divided into quarters What happens when a 6 mile range intersects a 6 mile tierYou get a 36 Square mile area called a Town ship If that section got divided again 3rd timeNE1/4 of SW1/4 of NE1/4 how many acres would that be 10 acres40 divided by 4 Town ship T3NR4E meansT3n R4E meridian 16 4 x 4 =16The township line is 3rd north of baseline and range line is forth east of principal meridian

and it read: SW1/4 of NE1/4 how many acres would each

section be 40 acres each as each quarter would be divided into a quarter of 160 =40
