Taxes, permits and township lines
For a parcel near Plains, township lines can matter more than the mailing town, so check the record before assuming. Assessment and tax districts in Meade County are frequently tied to the township, so two neighboring parcels near Fowler can carry different rates.
Reading sections near Missler
On a grid map of Meade County, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner.

Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Fowler may not be exactly 640 acres.
