Sections, quarters and roads in Cooper County

On a grid map of Cooper County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a fresh survey township, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Aliquot descriptions for land near Clarks Fork read backward: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Boonville may not be exactly 640 acres.

Township records near Pilot Grove

Older deeds near Pilot Grove may name a township differently than today's Cooper County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Cooper County do not always follow township lines near Bunceton, so check each one separately.
