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 ...
