The sections were run off very much as were the townships, using each township's east Range Line and south Town Line as bases. Commene- ing 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 township 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 off together.
On account of the errors previously mentioned no township will divide into 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 appar- ent excess or deficiency is always thrown into the last quarter mile, ly- ing next to the township lines on the north and west. The other sec- tions are called "Interior " sections, and are intended to be full six hundred and forty acres each, but they nearly always exceed or fall short of this amount.
The government sub-divisions of the section (although they are not actually surveyed by the government surveyor) by which the lands are sold, are " quarter " 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 run- ning a straight line north and south or eastand west (whichever way is wished to divide it) from" points midway by measurement of opposite sides. The quarter 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 perfectly square and con- tains 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 ex- actly square or contains the exact number of acres. Consequently, it almost alway occurs that the sub-divisions will differ more or less in quantity. But the government has istablished this as the only method by which the sub-divisions shall be made, making the eight corners es- tablished on he exterior lines of each section " the corners," however incorrect they may be.
In order that no one purchasing lands from the government may suf- fer injustice in expecting to get the actual number of acres intended to be in each sub-division, the government sells all of its lands on the con- dition 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 future transfer of the lands, where they are sold and described in "Government Descriptions," whether the words "more or less" are mentioned in the deed of conveyance or not. The method of description under this system is exact, and simple when once understood. The township is described, as previously stated, by the numbers of its town and range. The sections are numbered from one in the northeast corner to six in the northwest 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 di- vided 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 1I east of the Principal Meridian."
The ne { and nw { of each section lying on the north side of the town- ship are described as the fractional ne { or the fractional nw }, and the sw { and the nw { of each section lying on the west side of the town- ship are described as fractional nw 4 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 described 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 w } of the fractional ne { or nw }.
Of the fractional quarters on the west side of the township the de- scriptions 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 meandered 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, sec. - , tp. - N., R. - E.
Land may also be described by " Metes and Bounds," that is, the ac- tual 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, containing twenty acres."
A tract running the whole length of any side of a square or rectangu- lar piece of land, as a quarter-section, half-quarter or quarter-quarter, can be definitely described 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 sixty 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 occur exactly, so in dividing the government sub-divisions, as if they were exact in measurement on each side, the different pieces will over- lap each other as they are described, 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.
