Jackie,
Likely in an abstractors office in each county, you would find a "plat
map" for the county, showing the section lines within the county and a
graphic layout of the landholdings within each section. Each township
(containing 36 sections) would be named rather cryptically something
like T8N-R10E-S10. Does this help?

I saw the notes on the map that you mention. But, somewhere on
record, there should a list or something that gives the names of all the
townships that were surveyed. That is what I was talking about and would
like to find.
