Method of Subdividing Townships.--At or near the southeast corner of the township, a true meridian is determined by observing Polaris or by solar observations, and the deputy surveyor's instrument is tested thereon; then from said corner the first mile of the east and south boundaries are retraced, if the survey of the exteriors and the subdivisions have been provided for in separate contracts; but if the survey of the exterior and subdivisional lines are included in the same contract, these retracements are omitted. All disagreements of bearings or measurements are stated in the field notes. After t...
