The townships, ranges, sections and legal subdivisions are numbered, while the quarter sections and quarters of legal subdivisions are identified by their compass location, i.e., the southwest, southeast, northwest and northeast quarters within a section.
Sections can be further subdivided into Quarter Sections (NE, NW, SE, SW), or into 16 legal subdivisions (LSDs). With Township Canada, you can locate legal land descriptions in the Prairies using three formats: Section-Township-Range-Meridian, for example: 25-24-1-W5 ; Quarter Section-Section-Township-Range-Meridian, for example: SW-25-24-1-W5
Township lines run north and south, Range lines run east and west. Their intersections create a grid of townships. Each township is further divided into sections, quarter sections and legal subdivisions. There are approximately 3,600 townships in Saskatchewan.
Simply defined, a subdivision is the division of any area of land into two or more lots, and includes a re-subdivision which alters existing lot lines, or a consolidation of two or more parcels of land. Lot boundaries cannot be changed and new lots cannot be created without subdivision approval.
