I would not doubt that any of us reading this forum has more wealth than the combined wealth of the poorest 100 million people in the United Sates,,Yeah but do those 85 people hop on their tractor and enjoy life?
I could always do with a wee bit more $'s, as long as it doesn't interfere with my blessed lifestyle.
Man...that article sure warms one's heart at this Christmas time...Didn't want to start another Wealth thread, so dropped into this oldey....

Yes, much of the flat part of Indiana is divided this way.Roughly Illinois and all states to the west were all surveyed and divided into sections of ground, 1 mile to a side, or 80 chains on a side. Some of Indiana and Ohio were also split up into sections also but the system was less defined.
The original surveying was a huge undertaking, for example the part of Illinois I live in was surveyed about 1817.
