1: Ok, Lets say you have an old plat map that shows an old School.
actually this is a quadrangle map,thats why it shows the houses and schools,churches,etc.
Could be anything,But i am using a school for this example.[attachment 148798 Schoolloc.jpg]
The school is located in Township 26N,Range 33W, Section 13.
It was called BlackJack school.
2:This is the BLM Township,Range and Section Viewer for Google Earth.
You can download from my Township,Range and Section Post.Now here http://www.earthpoint.us/Townships.aspx at the site,click view on google earth,and then double click the file that downloads.
Once downloaded,it will be in your places category in Google Earth.
You can turn it off by unchecking the little box.

If you rest your pointer on the orange dots,it will show the township and range,and will highlight the whole township.
If you rest your pointer on the Purple dots,it will show you the section number.
3:Simply,overlay the map capture,on the appropriate section. My capture was one section,which is a square mile!
also,the Township range and section viewer will let you scroll in or out five times. They want you to pay for it,but i just delete it if it quits and download it again.
also,if you download it eight times, you need to go into where it is downloading and delete the older ones.
if it quits working. Delete it in your places section in google earth.
Then simply download it again!
