MO Townships Boundaries

Townships are identified with both a township and range designation. Townships are generally numbered from a north/sout baseline, designated as either north or south. Ranges are generally numbered from an east/west baseline, designated as either east or west. Townships are typically divided further into 1 mile sections.乡级地籍单元（township）需同时采用township编号与range（range）两项标识完成识别。乡级地籍单元通常以南北基准线为参照进行编号，分为北纬乡与南纬乡两类。range（range）通常以东西基准线为参照进行编号，分为东向与西向两类。乡级地籍单元通常会进一步划分为边长1英里的区段（section）。
