A Hayes County township map answers two different questions around Hayes Center: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. The free Hayes County parcel viewer and the parcel record generally show both.
Civil townships vs. survey townships
The named townships on a county map are civil townships, and a parcel near Hamlet belongs to exactly one of them. Rural land in Hayes County sits on the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Marengo may span two.
Finding the tract on the Hayes County map
The county's own public map is the Hayes County gWorks map, built on a gWorks county GIS site, and it opens without an account for parcels in Hamlet and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Hamlet or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a property near Palisade. For a backup route to the map covering Palisade, our Hayes County directory entry keeps the link current.
Using the Hayes County parcel viewer as a Hayes County township map
Open the Hayes County gWorks map and look in the layer list for township or municipal boundaries; click a parcel near Hayes Center and the record often names the township. For the survey grid, look for section, township and range in the legal description on the Hayes County record.
Sections, quarters and roads in Hayes County
On a grid map of Hayes County, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a survey township, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Quarter-quarter descriptions in Hayes County read backward: the final quarter listed is the largest piece. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Palisade may not be exactly 640 acres.
