What a Cass County township map lists
Where civil townships exist in the county, they are named local units, and their duties near Weeping Water depend on Nebraska law. Separately, Nebraska land near Weeping Water follows the federal survey grid, in which each township is about 36 square miles, split into 36 sections of about 640 acres.
The county map you'll pair it with
For land around Weeping Water, open the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map (an Esri ArcGIS web map); it's the map Cass County itself publishes. Use the search box for an address in Avoca or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a property near Weeping Water. Bookmark our Cass County page too; it tracks the official Nebraska link if it moves and lists the maps around Avoca.
Using the Cass County parcel viewer as a Cass County township map
Open the Cass County ArcGIS parcel map and look in the layer list for township or municipal boundaries; click a parcel near Weeping Water and the record commonly names the township. Some Cass County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which is useful when a deed near Weeping Water cites T and R numbers.
How the survey grid is numbered
Near Louisville, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Cass County make sense in reverse: locate the last quarter named first, then work inward. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Alvo may not be exactly 640 acres.
Deeds, districts and roads
Older deeds near Louisville may name a township differently than today's Cass County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Cass County don't always follow township lines near Avoca, so check each one separately.
