How the survey grid is numbered
On a grid map of Adair County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a survey township, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Aliquot descriptions for land near Clay make sense in reverse: track down the last quarter named first, then work inward. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Adair County.
