Answer 1

A column of townships running North and South, and counted East and West from the meridian is called a Range.

Step-by-step explanation:

A column of townships running North and South, and counted East and West from the meridian, is called a Range. The township and range system, also known as the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), was introduced by Thomas Jefferson as a way to divide and distribute land in the United States. The township is a square parcel of land six miles wide, and it is further divided into sections, quarter sections, and quarter-quarter sections.
