In the rectangular survey system, lines that run north and south every 6 miles are called:

  1. Baseline

  2. Township Lines

  3. Range Lines

  4. Principal Meridians

The correct answer is: Baseline

In the rectangular survey system, lines that run north and south every 6 miles are called Baseline. This line serves as a reference point for identifying townships and ranges within the system. Township lines run east and west parallel to the baseline, while range lines run north and south parallel to the principal meridian. Principal meridians are north-south lines used as reference points for identifying ranges within the system.
