19-1409. Method of subdividing sections into quarter sections.
In the subdivision of sections of land, as surveyed by the United State
surveyors into quarter sections, the following method shall be followed, to
wit: The surveyor shall proceed to connect the points of position of the
monuments marked "one quarter S.," commonly known as quarter-section corner
monuments, which are upon opposite sides of the section, by tracing a
straight line from one to the other; he shall then ascertain the point of
intersection of the two straight lines as above mentioned, and the said
point of intersection shall be the point of position of the corner common
to the four quarters of the section subdivided. The provisions of this
article shall not apply to center corners of sections already established
according to law.
