In the rectangular survey system, townships are numbered north or south of a designated:
Correct Answer
C) Baseline running east–west through the initial point
Why this is correct: In the rectangular survey system, townships are numbered north or south of a designated baseline, which is an east-west line running through an initial point. Ranges are numbered east or west of the principal meridian. Why the other choices are wrong: 'State boundary line' is not the reference. 'County seat meridian' is not a standard term; principal meridians are named. 'A magnetic north reference bearing taken at the site itself' describes metes and bounds, not the rectangular system. Exam tip: Think of it as a map grid: 'T2N, R3E' means 2 townships North of the baseline and 3 ranges East of the meridian.
