What is a PLSS township?
A Public Land Survey System township is a block of land about 6 miles on a side, divided into 36 sections of roughly 1 square mile (640 acres) each. T40N R79W sits in the 40th row of townships north of the baseline and the 79th range west of the 6th Principal Meridian, the north-south line that legal descriptions in this part of Wyoming are measured from. Corrections and older surveys leave some townships with fractional or extra sections.
