How to use the Phelps County township map

Open the Phelps County gWorks map and look in the layer list for township or municipal boundaries; click a parcel near Funk and the record frequently names the township. Copy the section-township-range from the Phelps County parcel record to match it with a deed or an older atlas.
How the survey grid is numbered
Near Loomis, section 1 sits in the northeast corner of a boundary survey township, with the count snaking back and forth to 36 in the southeast. Aliquot descriptions for land near Clyde are read from the end: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Funk may not be exactly 640 acres.
Deeds, districts and roads
Older deeds near Holdrege may name a township differently than today's Phelps County records, so compare the legal description too. Road maintenance questions near Clyde depend on if a road is a state, county or local road, so ask the county highway office if you're unsure.
