I was working on a worksheet, for another surveyor, (I share data) and could not remember what section was directly north of the one I was in. My wife HID my last one, I had made, and posted on the wall, during the last house cleaning... so I made another.
Then, I thought, I'll share this.

So, here it is. Print and use.

It's a PDF. Lets see if this works.

Nate

PS, hey, it works!

I made up this diagram while searching Iowa GLO notes in a library. I'm not sure how widely the key letter system was used.

What's wrong with the one in the BLM Manual?

I make a sketch like Nate's in my daytimer at the beginning of each new year.

Print up about 500 of those, Nate, and you can run an illicit high stakes Bingo tournament this weekend.

Jim:

When I worked with/for the old GLO Cadastral Surveyor in 1959-1960, he expected you to know where each section was in respect to another right off the top of your head when he would ask you and didn't want to wait for an answer.
