As you are one of the most well-studied posters on this forum, I wonder when your book will come out.

That would be a book I would love to study!
@dave-karoly Interesting.?ÿ The Kansas case is Nieman v. Davis?ÿ Supreme Court case 166 Kan. 246 (1948)
GLO intent is everything when it comes to "fractional" quarter sections.?ÿ I have read the KS Supreme Court case but I must have missed the reference to the California case.?ÿ I have divided several of these quarters into even aliquot parts.?ÿ Depending on whether it was long or short, one party got the "E?« SW?¬ and part of Lots 3 & 4" or "All of Lots 3 & 4 and part of the E?«SW?¬". In my opinion, it doesn't really matter if the patent, for the example, reads "All of the SW?¬" or "Lots 3 & 4 and the E?«SW?¬", patents reference the government survey and every part of the Township/Range plat is a simultaneous conveyance, of which the approved plat is the official results of the survey and has the dividing lines and acreages which clearly show intent.

Look under the publication tab at the ksls (Kansas Society of Land Surveyors) website and find information on the book. It came out around Thanksgiving 2021.
The moderators will filter this if I say more with links or emails.
I am sure they don't need no flatlander Kansas rube.?ÿ Besides, my old pal Norm Bowers works just fine for me!
@bill93 I have a scar on my left hand from a section corner search at the intersection of old fences.?ÿ Found the stone after ripping my hand on some wire.?ÿ Nope, never will forget it.
