Where is Township 1 located in a drawing of a section of land?

Upper left (NW) corner
Upper right (NE) corner
Lower left (SW) corner
Lower right (SE) corner

The correct answer is: Upper right (NE) corner

In the context of land surveying and the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), townships are organized in a grid format. Each township is divided into sections, and these sections are numbered starting from the upper right (northeast) corner and proceed in a specific pattern. Township 1 would be located in the upper right (northeast) corner of the grid. This designation is based on how townships are identified, with the first township starting in the northeast. This numbering system continues downwards and leftwards, which means that the first township is always positioned at the top right of any given area. Understanding this system helps in navigating and interpreting land surveys, which are critical for real estate transactions, land development, and other property-related activities. The correct positioning of townships within this organized framework is vital for accurate land descriptions and ownership determinations.
