<br />.1': .. f'. r-1~: <br /> <br />WELL LOCATION <br /> <br />In this report, the locations of wells are based on the U.S. Bureau of LanQ <br />Management system ~f land subdivision (fig. 2). The local well number locates ~ <br />well within a 10-acre tract using the U.S. Bureau of Land Management system of <br />land subdivision. The components of the local well number proceed from the larg~ <br />est to the smallest land subdivisions. This is in contrast to the legal descrip~ <br />tion, which procee4s from the smallest to the largest land subdivision. ' <br /> <br />The largest s~bdivision is the survey. The northern High Plains of Coloradq <br />is governed by th$ Sixth Principal Meridian Survey (S), as shown in figure 2A; <br />The first letter of the well location designates the survey. <br /> <br />A survey is subdivided into four qu~ant8 formed by the intersection of th~ <br />baseline and the Ptincipal meridian. The second letter of the well location des~ <br />ignates the quadrant: A indicates the northeast quadrant, B the northwest, C th~ <br />southwest, and 0 the southeast. <br /> <br />A quadrant is'subdivided in the north~south direction every 6 mi by town8hip~ <br />and is subdivided In the east-west direction every 6 mi by range8 (fig. 28). Th. <br />first numeral of the well location designates the township and the second numeral <br />designates the range. <br /> <br />The 36-mi2. area described by the township and range designation is subdivlde~ <br />into 1-mi2. areas called 8ection8. The sections are numbered sequentially in th~ <br />manner shown in f'igure 28. The third number of the well location designates th~ <br />section. <br /> <br />The section, , which contains 640 acres, is subdivided into quarter sections,. <br />The 160-acre area ,is designated by the first letter following the section: A in~ <br />dicates the north~ast quarter, B the northwest, C the southwest, and 0 the south~ <br />east. The quarter section is subdivided into quarter-quarter sections. Th~ <br />40-acre area is d~signated in the same manner by the second letter following the <br />section. The qu~rter-quarter section is subdivided into quarter-quarter-quarter <br />sect ions. The 10-:acre area is des i gnated in the same manner by the th i rd 1 ettelr <br />following the section. <br /> <br />If more than 'one well is located within the 10-acre tract, the wells are num- <br />bered sequentiallY in the order in which they were originally inventoried. I;f <br />this number is necessary, it will follow the three-letter designation. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />,; <br /> <br /> <br />-'.,- <br />
