Notes

  1. This is an irregular section. The section grid is aligned to the southeast corner to report quarter-quarter-quartersection location. The slope is very near the western section line, which is the county boundary as well.
  2. Not shown on accompanying map, because the source map did not have enough features to tie the map features to land surface features.
