What is the primary method by which property in the US is surveyed and described?

  1. Rectangular Survey System

  2. Circular Survey System

  3. Geographical Survey System

  4. Quantitative Survey System

The correct answer is: Rectangular Survey System

The Rectangular Survey System, also known as the Public Land Survey System, is the primary method used in the United States to survey and describe property. This system divides land into a grid pattern, with townships, ranges, and sections. This allows for a consistent and organized way of measuring and describing land across the country. Option B, the Circular Survey System, is not a commonly used method of surveying in the US. Option C, the Geographical Survey System, is not a specific system used for property surveying. Option D, the Quantitative Survey System, is not a recognized method of surveying in the US. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the primary method of property surveying in the US.
