In the rectangular survey system, Township Lines run:

  1. East and west every 6 miles

  2. North and south every 12 miles

  3. East and west every 12 miles

  4. North and south every 6 miles

The correct answer is: East and west every 6 miles

In the rectangular survey system, Township Lines run east and west every 6 miles. This means that the Township Lines are spaced 6 miles apart horizontally on the survey grid. This spacing is essential for dividing land into townships, which are then further divided into sections for legal descriptions and property ownership. Option A is correct because it accurately describes the direction and spacing of Township Lines in the rectangular survey system. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the direction and spacing of Township Lines in the rectangular survey system. Township Lines run east and west every 6 miles, not north and south every 12 miles (Option B), east and west every 12 miles (Option C), or north and south every 6 miles (Option D).
