Township and Range - Alternate Grid.

Click for larger image.

The USGS grid was scanned from a wall map.  Good alternate if there is a gap in the BLM data, but with less accuracy.  Provides full coverage of all townships, but does not have sections or quarter-quarter sections.  Calculates area, centroid, and corner points.  You must zoom into the central or western United States to see the data.

Options...     (hide/show icons, labels, quarter/quarters, change colors) Parameters: Icons: Show Hide Labels: Show when mouse over Show always Hide Quarters/Quarters: Show when zoomed in Hide When making a screen shot, it might be helpful to hide or show the icons or labels. Be sure to include the trademarks displayed at the bottom of the screen in any published material. When zoomed in close, it might be helpful to hide the Quarter/Quarter sections, which can clutter the map. Township Lines: Color:      Thickness: Opacity: Edit...

Hint

In mountainous areas it might be helpful to turn off the terrain layer in Google Earth.  Otherwise, the survey grid can look distorted as it shapes itself to the earth's surface.
