Resource Abstract:
- description: The system of numbering wells and springs in Utah is based on the cadastral land-survey system of the U.S. Government.
The number identifies the well or spring and locates its position to the nearest 10-acre tract in the land net. By this system,
the State is divided into four quadrants by the Salt Lake base line and meridian, and these quadrants are designated by the
uppercase letters A, B, C, and D, thus: A, for the northeast quadrant; B, for the northwest; C, for the southwest; and D,
for the southeast quadrant. Numbers designating the township and range, respectively, follow the quadrant letter, and the
three are enclosed in parentheses. The number after the parentheses designates the section, and the letters following the
section number give the location within the section. In text illustrations and typeset tables, these letters are lowercase,
but in tables reproduced from computer listings (such as tables 1, 2, 3, and 5 in this report) all letters are uppercase.
The first letter indicates the quarter section, which is generally a tract of 160 acres; the second letter indicates the 40-acre
tract, and the third letter indicates the 10-acre tract. The numbers that follow the letters indicate the serial number of
the well or spring within the 10-acre tract.; abstract: The system of numbering wells and springs in Utah is based on the
