ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEM

COPYRIGHT, 1000
METES AND BOUNDS.
u P to the time of the Revolutionary War, or until abont the beginning of the present century, land, when parcelled int, and sold or granted, was described by " Metes and Bounds," and that system is still in existence in the following Stutes, or in those portions of them which had been sold or granted when the present plan of surveys was adopted, viz. : New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginin, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, and the six New England States. To describe laud by " Metes and Bonds." is to have a known land-mark for a place of beginning, and then follow a line according to the compass-needle (or magnetic bearing), or the course of a stream, or track of an ancient high- way. This plan has resulted in endless confusion and litigation, as land-marks decay and change, and it is a well-known fact that the compass-needle varies and does not always point dne North.
As an example of this plan of dividing lands, the following description of a farm laid out by " Metes and Bounds, " is given; " Beginning at a stone on the Bank of Doe River, at a point where the highway from A. to B. crosses said river (see point marked C. on Diagram 1); thence 40º North af West 100 rods to h Inrge stump; thence 10º North of West 90 rods; thence 15° West of North 80 rods to an oak tree (see Witness 'I'ree on Diagram 1); Thence due Eust 150 rods to the highway; thence following the conrse of the highway 50 rods duo North; thence 5º North of East 90 rods; thence 45° East of South 60 rods; thence 10º North of East 300 rods to the Doe River; thence following the course of the river Sonthwesterly to the place of beginning." This, which is a very simple and moderate description by " Metes and Bounds," would leave the boundaries of the farm as shown in Diagram 1.

of Governmental THE present system
Land Surveys was adopted by Con- gress on the 7th of May, 1785. It has been in use ever since and is the legal method of describing and dividing lands. It is called the "Rectangular System," that is, all its distances and bearings are measured from two lines which are at right angles to each other, viz. : +. These two lines, from which tbe measurements aro made, are the Principal Meridisns, which run North and South, and the Base Lines, which run East and West. These Principal Meridians ate es- tablished, with great aocu- racy, by astronomical obser- vations. Each Principal Meridian has its Base Line, and these two lines form the basis or foundation for the surveys or measurement of all the lands within the ter- ritory which they control. Diagram 2 shows all of the Principal Meridians and Base Lines in the central portion of the United States, and from it the territory gov- erned by each Meridian and Base Line may be readily distinguished. Each Merid- ian aud Base Line is marked with its proper number or uame, as are also the Stand- ard Parallels and guide (or auxiliary) Meridians.
Diagram 3 illustrates what is meant when this method is termed the " Rectangular System," and how the meas- urements are based on lines which run at right anglesto each other. The heavy line running North and South (marked A. A.) represents the Principal Meridian, in thiscase say the5th Principal Meridian. The heavy line running East and West (marked B. B.) is the Base Line. These lines are need as the starting points or basis of all measurements or sur- veys made in territory con- trolled by the 5th Principal Meridian. The same fact applies to all other Principal Meridians and their Base Lines. Commencing at the Principal Meridian, at inter- vals of six miles, lines are run Northand South, parallel to the Meridian. This plan is followed both East and West of the Meridian throughout the territory controlled by the Meridian.

UNITED STATES LAND SURVEYS.
These lines aro tormed " Range Lines." They divide the land into strips or divisions six miles wide, extending North and South, parallel with the Meridian. Each division is called a Range. Ranges aro numbered from one upward, commeneing at the Meridian ; and their numbers are indicated by Roman characters. For instance, the first division (or first six miles) west of the Meridian is Rango I. West; the next is Rangs Il. West; then comes Range Ill., IV., V., VI., VII., and 8 > on, until the territory governed by another Principal Meridian is reached. In the same manner the Ranges East of the Meridian aro numbored, the words Kast or West being always used to indicate the direction from the Principal Meridiun. See Diagram 3.
Commeneing at the Base Line, ut intervals of six miles, lines uro run East and West parallel with the Base ). ie. These are designated as Township Lines. They divido the lan I into strips or divisions six miles wide, extending East and West, parallel with the Base Line. This plan is followed both North and South of the Base Line until the territory governed by another Principal Moridian und Base Line is reached. These divisiens or Townships are ommbered from one upward, both North and South of the Base Line, and their numbers are indicated by figures. For instance : Tho first six mile division North of the Base Line is Township 1 North ; the next is Township 2 North ; then comos Township 3, 4, 5, uud G, North, and so on. The same plan is }, followed South of the Base Line ; the Townships being designated as Township 1 South, Township 2 South, and se on. The "North " or "South" (the initinls N. or S. being generally used) indieates tho direction from tho Base Line. Seo Dingrum 3.
These Township and Rango Lines, erossing oach other, as shown in Diagram 3, form squares, which are called "Townships" or "Government Townships," which are six miles square, or as neurly that us it is possible to make them. These Townships are n very important feature in loenting or describing a piece of land, 'Tho location of a Government Townehip, however, is very readily fennd when the number of the Township and Range is given, by merely counting tho numbor indicatsd from the Base Lino and Principal Meridian. As un examplo of this. "Township 8 North, Range 4. West of the 5th Principal Meridian, is at once located on the squaro marked * on Diagram 3, by counting eight tiers north of the Base Line and 4 tiers west of the Meridian.
TOWNSHIPS OF LAND.
OWNSIIIPS are the largest snb- divisions of land run ont by the United States Surveyore. In the Governmental Surveys Township Lines are the first to bs rnu, and a Township Corner is established every six miles und marked. This is ealled "Townshipping." After the Township Corners have been enre- fally located, the Section and Quarter Seetion Cernore ars established. Each Township is six miles eqnare and contains 23,040 acres, or 36 square miles, as near as it is possible to make them. This, however, is fre- quently made impossible by: (1st) the pres- ence of lakes and large streams; (Und) by State boundaries not. falling exactly en Township Linee; (3rd) by the convergenee of Meridians or curvature of the earth's eurface ; and (4th) by inaccurate surveys.
Each Township, unless it is one of the exceptional cases referred to, is divided into 36 squares, which are called Sections. These Sectione are intended to be one inile, or 320 rods, squaro and contain 640 acrss of land. Sections are numbered consecutively from 1 to 36, as shown on Diagram 4. Beginning with Section 1 in the Northeast Corner, they run West to G, then East to 12, then West to 18, and so on, back and forth, until they end with Section 36 in the Southeast Corner.
Diagranı 4 shows a plat of a Township as it is divided and platted hy the govern- ment surveyors. These Townships are ealled Governmont Townships or Congres- sional Townships, to distinguish them from Civil Townships or organized Townships, as frequently the lines of organized Town- ships do not conform to the Government Townsbip liues.
SECTIONS OF LAND.
TAGRAM 5 illustrates how a section may be su'odivided, although the 139.8 R. Diagram only gives a few of the many subdivisions into which a (49 R. section may be divided. All Sections (except fractional Sections) are supposed to he 320 rods, or one mile, square and therefore contain 640 acres-a number easily divisible. Sections are subdivided into fractional ports to suit
A half-section contains 320 acres; a quarter-section contains 160 acres; balf of a quarter contains 80 acres, and quarter of a quarter contains 40 acres, and so on. Each piece of land is described according to the portion of tho section which it embraces-as the Northeast quarter of Section 10; or the Southeast quarter of the Southenst quarter of Section 10. Diagram 5 shows how many of these subdivisions aro platted, and also showe the plan of designating and describing them by initial letters as cach parcel of land on tho Diagram is marked with its description.
As has already been stated, all Sections (except Fractional Sections which are explained clse- where) are supposed to contain 640 acres, and even though mistakes have been made in surveying, as is frequently the case, making sections larger or smaller than 640 acres, the Government recog- nizcs no variation, but sells or grants each regular section as containing 640 acres "more or less."
Tho Government Surveyors are not required to sabdivide sections by running lines within them, but they nsually establish Quarter Posts on Section Lines on each side of a section at tho points marked A. B. C. and D. on Diagram 5.

Diagram 6 illustrates how the surpins or deficiency of land inside of these Sections ie distributed and wbich "forties"or "eigbties" it affects. From this arrangement it will be seen that in any Section that touches the North or West Township Lines, tho Southeast Quarter may be full-160 acres-while another quarter of the same Section may be much larger or smaller. Frequently these fractional "forties" or "eighties" arc lotted as shown in Diagram 6. They are always described as fractional tracts of land, as the " fractional S. W. + of Section 6," etc. Of course thoso portions of theso Sections which aro not affected by these variatione are described in tho usnal manner-as Southeast } of Section 6. As a rule Townships are narrower at the North than at the South side. The Meridiane of Longitude (which run North and South ) converge as they Inn North and Sonth from the Equator. They begin at the Equator with a definito width between them and gradually con verge until they all meet at the poles. Now, as the Range linesare run North and South, it will at once be seen that the convergence of Meridians will enuse cvery Congressional Township (North of tho Equator) to be narrower at its North than at its South side, us stated. See Diagram 4. In addition to this fact, mistakes of measurement ure constantly and almost unavoidably made in running hoth Township and Range lines, and if no new starting points were established the lines would become confused and unreliable, and DIAGRAM 6. the sizs and shape of Townships ACRES.

6 CONGRESSIONAL Townships vary considerably as to size and boundaries. Mistakes mas in surveying and tho fact that Meridians converge ae they run North causs every Township to vary more or less from tho 23.040 acres which a perfect Township would contain. Seo Diagram 4. In arranging a Township into Sections all the surplus or deficiency of land is given to, or taken from, the North and West tiers of Sections. Iu other words, all Sections in the Township are made full- 640 acres-except those on the North and West, which are given all the land that ie left after forming the other 25 Sections.
Diagram 4 illustrates huw the surplus of deficiency is distributed and the Sections it affects. It will be seen that Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 18, 19, 30 and 31, are the " Fractional Sections," or the Sections which are affected if the Township overruns or falls short. Inside of these Fractional Sections, all of the surplus or deficiency of land (over or under 640 acres) is carried to the "forties " or "eighties" that tonch the Township Line. These pieces of land are called "Fractionul Forties" or " Fractional Eighties," as the case may bc. Diagrams 4 and G show the manner of marking the acreage and ontlining the boundaries of these "Fractions."

After establishing Township corners, Section Linos aro the next to bo run, aud section cor- ners aro established. When theso are carefully located tho Quarter Posts are located at points as nearly equidistant between Section Corners as possible. These corners when established by Government Surveyors cannot be changed, even though it ie conclusively shown that mistakes lavo been made which cause some sections or quartor sections to bo either larger or smaller than others. Tho laws, however, of all the States provide cortain rules for locnl survoyors to follow in dividing Sections into smaller parcels of land than has been outlined in tho Governmental eurveye. For instance, in divid- ing a quarter section into two parcels, the dis- ance between the Government Corners is care- fully measured and the new post is loented at a point equidistant between them. This plan is followed in running out "oighties," "fortics," "twonties," etc. In this way, if tho Govern- ment division overruns or falls short, cach portion gains or loses its proportion. This is not tho case, however, with Fractional Sections along the North or West sides of a Township, or adjoining a lake or largo stream.
