BLM Plat Help

Sorry, no help from here.?ÿ The whole mess is quite confusing to me.?ÿ Having trouble figuring out the Lot numbering system where you can show Lot 6 but also the E/2 of Lot 6.

Can you post an attachment of the entire plat?

@hi-staker whole plat

This is an elongated section, see Section 4-44 of the Manual.?ÿ

Just a simple colonial surveyor here, but the numbers before the 1/16 corners appear to be "close" to the distance north of this line

You got it. This is explained in the BLM Manual.?ÿ

You're in an elongated section.?ÿ If memory serves it's the distance in chains from the south section line.?ÿ

This is the correct answer.

I'm thinking fellows in Western Missouri would be familiar with that.?ÿ Nothing like that close to me.

Thanks to everyone. I'm a little embarrassed for not opening and searching the Manual.?ÿ

Don't be, sometimes this stuff is difficult to track down. I'm familiar with it cause I've had some of these elongated sections to deal with. The examples are elongated north-south. They also can be elongated east-west.?ÿ

What happens when they are long both directions I'm not sure how they would be stenciled.

Randy, This is in my zone.?ÿ Let me know if you need local assistance.?ÿ I've performed surveys on that property, well adjacent as there are only 3 nearby owners and all are government of some sort.?ÿ My buddy runs the Gun Club in L5.
