Another head scratcher....
The PLSS intended for which line to be 80 chains?
E line of section 20
S line of section 24
N line of section 30
E line of section 4
I believe that the meridional lines according to the manual were held in higher regard than the parallels, so I think it is the E line of 20 ? ? ?
Thought alot about this one....
Any input would be appreciated
I'm in agreement with you on this one.
Even after forty years, I still have to think about what sections are where. I need to get the picture in my head if I can't see it on paper.
Once I get it, though...well, just watch out cause I'm seldom wrong:-)
Anyway, I think you're right.

Yepper, the east line of section 20, assuming everything else is "normal", is 80 chains. All the others are closing lines and/or random & true.
Hi Clyde,
Its funny isn't it...I do the same thing, always got to graph things out. Thanks for your input.
another egg!

Must agree. That is the only case where they stop their line on their own. The others are controlled by existing lines/monuments.
Hello Brian,
Thats what I was thinking but it was not that clear at the time. I thought there might be something more to it, kind of overthinking it. In any event I always appreciate your input.
Thanks, rlshound
That makes sense... Thanks Holycow
