Provision for the survey was made by the ordinance of May 20, 1785, according to which seven ranges of townships in eastern Ohio were to be surveyed. Each township, which was to be six miles square, was to be divided into ‘lots’ one mile square, which were to be numbered from south to north in ranges, beginning on the east side of the township. The survey was begun in 1786.”–Paullin, p.23.
