Explanation:
The township and range system is a method of surveying and dividing land that was introduced in the United States during the late 18th century. It was developed to organize and distribute land in an efficient and orderly manner. The system established a grid-like pattern consisting of townships and ranges, which are square-shaped divisions of land. Townships are further divided into smaller sections, typically measuring one square mile each. This system helped establish the current land use pattern in the United States, as it provided a consistent method for dividing and describing land, which has been widely adopted across the country.
