About the township
In the Public Land Survey System a township is a block nominally 6 miles on a side, divided into 36 sections of one square mile. That makes 36 sq mi, 23,040 acres or about 93.24 km². Sections are numbered 1 to 36 starting in the northeast corner and snaking back and forth to finish in the southeast corner.
Townships are located by their number north or south of a baseline and their range east or west of a principal meridian, as in “T3N, R2W”. Western Canada’s Dominion Lands Survey townships also have 36 sections, plus road allowances, so they are slightly larger. The survey township is a land-survey unit and is not always the same as a civil township.
