David,
Regarding your message of April 9th @ 9:53 a.m.
‘’I thought you might be interested to know that the stt.sq. ken was the basis for the settlement, economy, and establishment of the United States. All property in the United States was laid out, surveyed, and sold by the stt.sq. ken. This was done by surveying longitude lines 1 stt. ken apart, and then surveying latitude lines 1 stt. ken apart. The longitude lines were called ‘’range lines’’ and the latitude lines were called ‘’township lines’’. I’ll show how it was surveyed up below:’’
1 township = 1 stt.sq. ken = 23040 stt. acres
NOT USED =1 stt.sq. league = 5760 stt. acres (not 4428.4030 stt. acres)
NOT USED = 1 spanish sq. legua = 4428.4030 stt. acres (not 5760 stt. acres)
1 lot = 1 stt.sq. mile = 640 stt. acres
1/2 lot = 320 stt. acres
1/4 lot = 160 stt. acres
1/2 1/4 lot = 80 stt. acres
1/4 1/4 lot = 40 stt. acres
1/2 1/4 1/4 lot = 20 stt. acres
1/4 1/4 1/4 lot = 1 stt.sq. furlong = 10 stt. acres
1/2 1/4 1/4 1/4 lot = 5 stt. acres
David, thanks for the information.
