Breaking a section down The section can be divided into halves, quarters, halves of halves These quarters can be broken into halves or quarters They are broken down by combining the words East, West, North, South north west east south

Breaking a section down Yellow = 1 section = section 8 orange = NE ¼, section 8 Blue = NW ¼, NE ¼, section 8 N W E S

How big is that section 1 whole section = 640 acres = 1 sq. mile ¼ of a ¼ section = 40 acres 640 acres 320 acres Section 8 160 acres 40 acres

8 One Section of Land (640 acres) This section is divided into quarters, halves of a quarter, and quarters of a quarter.

Practice 2 5 NW1/4, NW1/4 NE1/4, NE1/4 3 SE1/4, NW1/4 Section 8 1 4 W1/2, SE 1/4 SW1/4

Writing the legal description Locate desired plot of land Figure out what section it is located in and what portion of section Smallest part is listed first Work your way out from the section to the principal meridian For example
