The primary grid pattern is of quarter sections (1 ⁄ 2 mi × 1 ⁄ 2 mi (800 m × 800 m)). In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.
For example, SW1/4 NW1/4 S13, T1SR20E refers to the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter of section 13 of Township 1 South Range 20 East (a 40-acre parcel). See further discussion below. Base Line : A parallel of latitude, referenced to and established from a designated initial point, upon which all rectangular surveys in a defined area ...
In a common square grid layout known as a 1,000-Acre Sectional System, adjacent parallel roads were 100 chains or 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 miles (2.0 km) apart, and arranged as ten 100-acre lots each 20 chains by 50 chains [7] so that two consecutive concession roads and two consecutive side roads enclosed a square of 1,000 acres (4.0 km 2).
While there’s not a go-to RV depreciation calculator available online, some experts suggest that an RV loses about 20% of its value after the first year, a rate that slows significantly after that.
LSDs can be "quarter-quarter sections" (square land parcels roughly 1 ⁄ 4 mi [400 m] on a side, comprising roughly 40 acres [160,000 m 2] in area)—but this is not necessary. Many are other fractions of a section (a half-quarter section—roughly 80 acres [320,000 m 2] in area is common). LSDs may be square, rectangular, and occasionally ...
"A league and a labor" (4,605.5 acres; 18.638 km 2) was a common first land grant [4] and consisted of a league of land away from the river plus one extra labor of good riparian (river-situated) land. A headright of this much land was granted to "all persons [heads of families] except Africans and their descendants and Indians living in Texas ...
Each 36-square-mile (about 93.2 km 2) township is divided into 36 sections of one square mile (640 acres, roughly 2.6 km 2) each. [1] The sections can be further subdivided for sale. The townships are referenced by a numbering system that locates the township in relation to a principal meridian (north-south) and a base line (east-west). For ...
Charged with the task, Edwin Waller designed a fourteen-block grid that fronted the river on 640 acres (exactly 1 square mile; about 2.6 km 2). After surveying the land, Waller organized the almost immediate sale of 306 lots, and by the end of the year the entire Texas government had arrived by oxcart at the new site. Apart from the speed of ...
