What's a Range in a rectangular system. Is it 2 consecutive meridians or 2 consecutive paralells?

Hi, Vera! In the Government Survey System, a range is the strip of land between any two lines parallel to the Principal Meridian and it is six miles in width. If you're studying to become a land surveyor, this article on the most common land surveys might be of interest to you.
