A township in the context of the Rectangular Survey System is how large?

  1. 1 square mile or 640 acres

  2. 2 square miles or 1280 acres

  3. 576 square miles

  4. 24 miles between two prime meridians

The correct answer is: 1 square mile or 640 acres

A township in the Rectangular Survey System is typically 6 miles by 6 miles or 36 square miles. Within this area, there are 36 sections, each one mile square. Therefore, one township is equal to 36 square miles or 23,040 acres. Option B of 2 square miles is too small and does not accurately reflect the size of a township. Similarly, option C of 576 square miles is too large and does not fit within the definition of a township. Option D is incorrect as the distance between two prime meridians is not a measure of the size of a township. Therefore, the correct answer is A of 1 square mile or 640 acres.
