First, break down the components of land described: 1. **SE¼ of the SE¼ of the SE¼ of Sec. 4**: Each section in this description represents typically 640 acres (as one section is 1 square mile). - The SE¼ of the SE¼ of the SE¼ constitutes: - 640 acres / 4 (for the first quarter) = 160 acres (SE¼) - 160 acres / 4 (for the second quarter) = 40 acres (SE¼ of the SE¼) - 40 acres / 4 (for the third quarter) = 10 acres (final SE¼ of the SE¼ of the SE¼) 2. **S½ of the SW¼ of the SW¼ of Sec. 3**: - SW¼ of SW¼ is calculated similarly: - 640 acres / 4 = 160 acres (SW¼) - 160 / 4 = 40 acres (SW¼ of SW¼) - S½ of that is 40 acres /
