Decoding the Map Numbers

The first alphanumeric character in the map name represents the Township (horizontal axis). The northernmost part of Lincoln County is in Township 6 South (6s). The southernmost end of Lincoln County is in Township 15 South (15s).

The second alphanumeric character in the map name represents the Range (the vertical axis). The westernmost part of Lincoln County is in Range 12 West (12w). The easternmost part of Lincoln County is in Range 8 West (8w).

The third alphanumeric character, if any, in the map name represents the Section within the Township and Range. Sections are generally numbered from 1 to 36 back and forth from the top to the bottom:

The fourth alphanumeric character, if any, represents the Quarter Section within the Section. Quarter Sections are generally numbered from A to D as indicated in picture below (the circled letters).

The fifth alphanumeric character, if any, represents the Sixteenth Section within the Quarter Section. Sixteenth Sections are generally numbered from A to D as indicated in the picture below (the second letter within each box).

Thus, a map numbered "12s11w7bd" would translate as: Township 12 South, Range 11 West, Section 7, Quarter Section B, Sixteenth Section D.

If the map name has the additional indicator "idx" at the end of the map name, this is an indication that the map image contains references to other maps with further detail (for example, map "10s10w09aidx" contains an internal reference to that portion which is detailed on map "10s10w09ab").
