Each section is 640 acres in size and can be further subdivided into smaller units by either halving or quartering the section (Figure 1.16) and described according to direction. For instance, the letter X is located in the NW 1/4, S9, T2N, R3E.
All United States Geological Survey topographic maps show the township, range, and section information on them. Figure 1.12 is a portion of the Whitewater, WI 1:24000 USGS topographic map. Township and Range information is found printed in red along the bottom and left margins (R 17E, T3N). Section boundaries are printed in red and their number designation is printed in the center of the section.
