American System of Rectangular Survey.
The struggle for the independence of the thirteen American colonies with Great Britain, although a suc- cessful one, left the colonies with a heavy burden of debt to pay. The fact, however, that several of the colonies (now states) had an interest in what was then know of the Northwest Territory, proved one of the most powerful influences which kept the new born nation from dropping to pieces, and a fruitful means to assist in clearing off the burden of debt.
The four states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Virginia, which claimed all the land north of the Ohio river, west to the Mississippi, agreed (from 1780-1786) to give it to the United States, to be disposed of for the common good, and in 1787 Congress passed an ordinance for the government of this territory, and also for establishing a definite method for the survey and sale of these lands, which were then designated as "Public Lands," to be placed on the market for sale, the proceeds of which were to be principally applied to the payment of the war debt of the Revolution.
To draw up a definite plan for the survey of these "Public Lands" in the Northwest Territory was a diffi- cult problem, as the methods of survey in the different states differed somewhat. Virginia had her regular plats known as "Tamahawk Surveys." Connecticut had a more uniform plan which she had adopted in her sur- vey of the "Western Reserve" in Ohio, part of the terri- tory to which she laid claim. And now as all these different states had ceeded all this territory to the gen- eral government for the good of all, it became highly necessary that some general and definite method of survey be adopted.
The plan arranged by James Mansfield, surveyor general of the Northwest Territory, was adopted by Congress in 1802. It is so simple and practical that it has received very few modifications by any of the land commissioners since. After the adoption of a definite method of survey the government proceeded to have tracts of this territory surveyed off as the demands of the public required; the first tract surveyed being near- ly all in the state of Ohio, the second in Indiana.
The United States Rectangular Survey may be brief- ly stated as follows:
First, a north and south line is run through the tract determined upon to be surveyed. This line begins at some prominent or easily distinguished point, and is designated as a "Principal Meridian." Then a line run- ning east and west, at right angles with the first line, is run through the tract, called the "Base Line."
. The Principal Meridian of our state begins at a point forty-eight miles west of Lake Erie, on a line be- tween Michigan and Ohio, and from there extends north to the city of Sault de Ste. Marie. The Base Line ex- tends from Lake St. Clair to Lake Michigan, forming the south boundary of Eaton county. These lines are run with a "Solar Compass." avoiding the errors of a magnetic needle.
Lines are then run north and south parallel to the Principal Meridian and six miles apart, which divide the territory into long north and south strips called Ranges, which are numbered in their order 1, 2, etc., east of the Meridian, also the same west of it. In Mich- igan there are 17 Ranges east and 47 west. Across these are run lines six miles apart, parallel to the Base Line, cutting the territory into long east and west strips
called Towns, and these are numbered North and South from the Base Line. In Michigan there are 47 Towns north and 8 south.
By this "cross lining" the territory is divided into squares, six miles on a side. Each of these squares is a Congressional Township. Such "Townships" some- times, but often do not, correspond to the Civil Town- ships which are known by popular names. The only designation of Congressional Townships is their Range and Town numbers. The system is illustrated by the following diagram:

X is Township 2 North, Range 3 East. Y is Township 2 South, Range 2 West. Z is Township 4 North, Range 1 East.
In practice the surveyors did not run the Range and Town lines their whole length, continuously, The magnetic needle points east of north in Michigan and its variation from north continually changes. Running a line through primeval forests is beset with difficulties. No measurements of such great length can be made ex- actly. Hence the surveyors began on the Base Line six miles east of the initial point, ran a Range Line six miles north as nearly as they could, and then ran a "random line" west to the Principal Meridian, to check their work. Then they ran back to their Range line, marking section and quarter-section corners as they went, and so proceeded to lay out the next township north; and so on east and west of the Principal Merid- ian.
But as they ran north, on account of the fact that all lines running north continually approach each other and come together at the pole, every township was narrower at the north than at the south. To prevent this error growing, every fourth town line north and every fifth Town line south of the Base line is called a "Correction Line," and on these a fresh start is taken with distances full six miles east and west. "Auxiliary Meridians" were also established at every eighth Range linê.
After the track is thus surveyed into townships six miles square, the townships are divided into thirty-six tracts, called "Sections," each containing one square mile, more or less.
The sections were run off very much as were the townships, using each township's east Range line and south town line as bases. Commencing one mile west of the southeast corner of the township, the surveyor runs north a mile, then east a mile to the east range line and corrects back to the northwest corner of the section. He sets a quarter post (or a half-mile post) on the west line of the section at forty chains north of the starting point, and sets the quarter post on the north line of each section, half way between the northwest and northeast section corners. The surveyor proceeds to run off the remaining sections on the east tier, up to the north line of the township, placing the last section corner where his north and south line intersects that north town line, whether this point is east or west of the section corner previously established in the town- ship survey. The distance between the two corners, if any, is called the "jog" and is recorded.
In the more recent government surveys in the west, there is no "jog" left, the surveyor being required to close his lines at the section corners on the north and west lines of each township. The section surveyor es- tablishes no quarter or half mile posts on the north line of any of the sections on the north and west sides of the township. Each tier of sections in the township is run off in this manner, except the last two, which are run run off together.
On account of the errors previously mentioned no township will divideinto thirty-six exact sections and in the sectional survey new errors arise. These errors are all run into the north and west tiers of sections, which are called "Exterior" or "Fractional Sections," because they contain the excess or deficiency of land in the township, and this apparent excess or deficiency is always thrown into the last quarter mile, lying next to the township lines on the north and west. The other sections are called "Interior" sections, and are intended to be full six hundred and forty acres each, but they nearly al- ways exceed or fall short of this amount.
The government sub-divisions of the sections (al- though they are not actually surveyed by the govern- ment surveyor) by which the lands are sold, are "quar- ter" sections, or one hundred and sixty acres: "half- quarter" sections, or eighty acres, and "quarter-quarter" sections, or forty acres. The section is divided into quarters by running a straight line north and south and one east and west between the quarter posts on the sides of the section. The quarter sections are "halved" by running a straight line north and south or east and west (whichever way is wished to divide it) from points midway by measurement of opposite sides. The quar- ter sections are quartered- by running lines north and south and east and west between points at the center of each side of the quarter section. Other smaller sub- divisions can be made on the same principles.
It will be seen from this that if a section is perfect- ly square and contains the exact number of acres, that this method would sub-divide it into tracts of equal areas, but it hardly ever occurs that a section is exactly square or contains the exact number of acres. Conse- quently, it almost always occurs that the sub-divisions will differ more or less in quantity. But the govern- ment has established this as the only method by which the sub-divisions shall be made, making the eight corners
established on the exterior lines of each section "the corners," however incorrect they may be.
In order that no one purchasing lands from the government may suffer injustice in expecting to get the actual number of acres intended to be in each sub-divis- tion, the government sells all of its lands on the condi- tions that each one of these sub-divisions contains so many acres, "be the same more or less," according to the government survey. And this rule follows the fu- ure transfer of the lands, where they are sold and de- scribed in "Government Descriptions," whether the words "more or less" are mentioned in the deed of con- veyance are not. The method of description under this system is exact, and simple when once understood. The township is described as previously stated, by the num- bers of its town and range. The sections are numbered from one in the northeast corner to six in the north- west corner, then the next row below that from left to right, and so on. back and forth to thirty-six, in the southeast corner.
The sub-divisions of the section in the following diagram as it is divided into "Government Descriptions," are each described in brief on the diagram.", The one marked X we will describe in full as a sample of all:

"The north half of the northeast quarter of section 36 township 36 north, range 11 east to the Principal Meridian."
89
The ne } and ¿ nw of each section lying on the north side of the township are described as the fraction- al ne } or the fractional nw 1, and the sw } and the nw ¿ of each section lying on the west side of the township are described as fractional ne } or fractional sw } of such sections.
If any of the fractional quarters on the north side of a township are divided into halves by an east and west line, the south half is made eighty rods wide and the north half takes the excess or deficiency and is de- scribed as the fractional n }. If they are divided by a line running north and south each half is described as either the e } or the west } of the fractional ne } or nw ł.
Of the fractional quarters on the west side of the township the descriptions would be the reverse, as they are divided by a north and south or an east and west line. When a section contains a lake which was mean- dered out in the original survey, the fractional pieces in each quarter section were numbered as lots, and sold by the government as lot No .-- in -- quarter, section -, tp. - N., R .-- E.
Land may also be described by "Metes and Bounds," that is, the actual beginning of the lines and actual measurements being given. Thus: "A parcel or tract of land lying in the southeast quarter of Sec. 35, twp. 36 North, Range 8 east, commencing at a point ten chains east of the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of said Sec. 35, running thence east ten chains, thence north twenty chains, thence west ten chains, thence south twenty chains to the place of beginning, contain- ing twenty acres."
A tract running the whole length of any side of a square or rectangular piece of land, as a quarter-section, half-quarter or quarter-quarter, can be definitely de- scribed as so many acres off of the E side, or W side, or N side, or S side, whichever side it may be. But if the tract does not run the whole length of a side, that style of description would be wrong.
There is one very common error in the description of land, and that is many notaries public, attorneys and justices of the peace, where there may be an eighty acre tract or any other government subdivisions to be divided among different parties, who are unwilling to have each of their different interests surveyed before their deeds are made, naturally fix this in their minds,
that if it is a forty acre tract it must be eighty rods square, or if it is eighty acres it is one hundred and six- ty rods long and eighty rods wide, or if one hundred and sixty acres that is one hundred and sixty rods square, which in our government sub-divisions hardly ever oc- cur exactly, so in dividing thegovernment sub-divisions, as if they were exact in measurement on each side, the different pieces will overlap each other as they are de- scribed, or leave a surplus not conveyed to any one of the parties. Real estate should be so conveyed that there could be no question as to its metes and bounds when it is surveyed.

Most of the territory indulged in Bay county is surveyed under the regular rectangular system. There are, however, some reservations which are not so surveyed. In 1819 a treaty between the United States and the Indians was entered into, making several reservations in this part of the state. These reservations were surveyed by meets and bounds in 1821 and 1822. Joseph Wampler laid out the reser- vations and sections abutting them. John Mullett sub- dived these reservations in 1838 and 1839. Several small reservations were not subdivided by the govern- ment. The Roseaus surveyed the northern part of Bay county, but their work was nearly all re-surveyed on ac- count of errors discovered later.
