How to use the Hall County township map
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Wood River belongs to exactly one of them. The survey township cited in deeds near Wood River comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Hansen may span two.

How the survey grid is numbered
On a grid map of Hall County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a boundary survey township, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36.

Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Hall County.
