26 Quarter section position

Current to 2022-11-16 · Official PDF

(1) If an east-west section line does not have a road allowance
adjacent to it and if a monument has not been placed at a quarter
section corner on that east-west section line, then the position of
that quarter section corner is the point that is midway on a straight
line connecting the section corners lying on either side of the
quarter section.
(2) If no monument has been placed at the centre of a section, the
position of that centre is the point of intersection of the straight
lines joining opposite quarter section corners.
(3) If no monuments have been placed to mark the corners of legal
subdivisions, the corners are the midpoints of the boundaries of the
quarter sections and the intersections of the straight lines joining
those midpoints.
(4) For the purposes of this section, if the official plan shows no
road allowance or a road allowance of a width other than 66 feet,
the position of the midpoint shall be determined as though a road
allowance 66 feet wide had been shown.
