I could tell right off when I looked at that photo that that was "somewheres back east" ....... the fields are not square, and lines don't run in cardinal directions...... I guess the same would be true of other "eastern" states like OH, IN, etc. ...... stuff laid out after Mr. Jefferson's "Northwest Ordinance".

The Township system laid out in that makes range estimation much easier out here: A section is a mile square, and a quarter is 880x880 yards ..... property lines generally follow the section lines .....

A good rangefinder in very nice to have, though......
