Seeing township lines on the Lawrence County map
On the IntegrityGIS - Lawrence County, the parcel record for a property near Pierce City generally lists the township, and many viewers draw township lines as a layer. Some Lawrence County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which helps when a deed near Marionville cites T and R numbers.
How the survey grid is numbered
Near Aurora, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Aurora read backward: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Stotts City may not be exactly 640 acres.
