Township lines are established at intervals of 6 miles to the north and 6 miles to the south of the baseline. The resulting 6-mile-wide spaces are called townships and are numbered north and south of the base line.

REMEMBER! The spaces, not the lines, are called townships, and the spaces, not the lines, are numbered.

The first township north is called Township 1 North

The next township north is called Township 2 North, and so on.
