Gove County at a glance

Roughly 1,072 square miles of land and about 2,735 residents (2023 estimate) make up Gove County. Beyond the town lots in Quinter, expect big rural parcels across the county. Gove County was organized in 1868, so deeds for older farms near Park can run back a long way.
How the survey grid is numbered
Near Park, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, with the count snaking back and forth to 36 in the southeast. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Park make sense in reverse: find the last quarter named first, then work inward. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Gove County.
Deeds, districts and roads
Township names on a historical atlas of Gove County can help when a family deed near Grinnell uses an old place name. Road maintenance questions near Grainfield depend on if a road is a state, county or local road, so ask the county highway office if you're unsure.

Mailing towns vs. townships near Park
