As soon as I awoke this morning, this error came to mind.  I&#39;ve known how<br/>
sections, townships, and ranges work since I was a small child, so it&#39;s<br/>
embarrassing.<br/>

&gt; Mike D.,<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; La Paz County (according to its official web site at<br/>
&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.co.la-paz.az.us/">http://www.co.la-paz.az.us/</a> ) was formed on January 1, 1983.  It was part of<br/>
&gt; Yuma County prior to that date.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; The visible line running westward from the vicinity of the monuments shown on<br/>
&gt; the 24 K map at your TopoZone link below is not a county boundary.  It is a<br/>
cut<br/>
&gt; line where two maps have been pieced together.  Please note that the same cut<br/>
&gt; line also runs eastward, giving the appearance of a double county line.  Proof<br/>
&gt; that it is a cut line is the double printing of the red township numbers &quot;31&quot;<br/>
&gt; and &quot;32&quot; in different fonts.  The upper map might be of 1967 vintage, but the<br/>
&gt; lower one is obviously of post-1983 (post-La Paz) vintage.  That is why the<br/>
&gt; upper map shows the land west of the meridian boundary to be Yuma County,<br/>
while<br/>
&gt; the lower one shows it to be La Paz.  Before 1983 this was the<br/>
&gt; Maricopa-Yavapai-Yuma tripoint, and since 1983 it is La Paz-Maricopa-Yavapai.<br/>
&gt; The remainder of Yuma County is still there south of La Paz.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
