Section Numbers within a Range & Township block

This 6 mile by 6 mile grid holds true for Marion County townships, although many of the south and eastern borders of the townships follow rivers. As a result, the edges of the section blocks are not square and the blocks themselves are not complete.

Layout within a Section
|

|
 |
|
|
The above is a sample of how a typical section might be laid out. If you know the description of the land from a title deed or a land grant, you can find the specific section on the township grid, and the location of that plot of ground within that section by looking in the proper spot on that square.
