Taxes, permits and township lines

Reading sections near Montrose
On a grid map of Cumberland County, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Cumberland County make sense in reverse: find the last quarter named first, then work inward. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Neoga may not be exactly 640 acres.
Deeds, districts and roads
Older deeds near Casey may name a township differently than today's Cumberland County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Cumberland County do not always follow township lines near Greenup, so check each one separately.
