-a township in the ‘united states’ is a ‘small geographic area’-
.
[the term is used in 3 ways]
1
(a ‘survey township’ is simply a ‘geographic reference’ used to define ‘property location’ for ‘deeds’ + ‘grants’ as surveyed + platted by the ‘general land office’ (GLO))
(a ‘survey township’ is nominally ‘6 x 6 square miles square)
(~ 23,040 acres)
.
2
A civil township is a unit of local government, generally a civil division of a county.
Counties are the primary divisional entities created by U.S. states, thus townships vary from state to state in their powers and organizations.
Civil townships are generally given a name, sometimes abbreviated “Twp”
.
3
(a ‘charter township’ is similar to a ‘civil township’, found only in the state of ‘michigan’)
(provided certain conditions are met, a charter township is mostly exempt from annexation to contiguous cities or villages, and carries additional rights and responsibilities of ‘home rule’)
