How the survey grid is numbered
Near Ruskin, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Calls like 'NE 1/4 of the SW 1/4' near Ruskin are read from the end: track down the last quarter named first, then work inward.

Deeds, districts and roads
If a county deed near Bostwick cites a township that no longer appears on the map, the county recorder can most frequently explain the change. For property tax questions, the township shown on the county record for a parcel near Lawrence is the one that counts.
