Understanding the Township as a Unit of Area
A township is a term used to describe a specific division of land, primarily in the United States and Canada. Historically, a township is often defined as a square parcel of land measuring six miles on each side, encompassing a total area of 36 square miles. This grid system facilitates governance and land management, with townships serving as a foundation for local government jurisdiction.
In the context of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), townships are integral to the organization of rural lands. Each township is further divided into 36 sections, each one mile square, allowing for efficient land allocation and use. Over time, townships have evolved into essential entities that provide various services to residents, such as zoning, public works, and community planning. As such, they play a crucial role in local governance and the administration of land resources.
