You’re in luck either way:
If you want to map Township/Range/Section, I’ve just released a new tool called Township Range on Google Maps that maps them all the way down to the quarter quarter section. These townships are part of the Public Land Survey System found in roughly 30 states in the U.S. (which you can read about here). You can search by address, place, GPS coordinates, or do a reverse find by Section, Township, Range. They look something like this:
Using the Township Range on Google Maps tool shown above, you can:
- Search by address or place using the “Search places” box above the map
- Use the “Find parcel” tool on the left side of the map if you have a known Section Township Range you want to map
- Just click around the map to see which township, range, section and even quarter and quarter quarter section you clicked in
On the other hand, if you want the other type of townships (e.g. the level between county and city in many states) discussed in my last post, they can be found on both the City Limits on Google Maps tool and the County Lines on Google Maps tool by checking the box in the lower left corner of the map. Here’s an article on this type of township. This is an example of this type of township on the map:
Be sure and read the coverage notes and usage tips below each map tool.
Hope these are useful in your research! Feel free to share with anyone you think may find the tools useful.
