Saw this on the way back from a listing today, just thought it was pretty. No, it’s not for sale.

Quick Tutorial on reading a legal description
December 11, 2009 By
Ever wish you could decipher a legal description? Well, if the parcel is based on a standard sectional description, it’s fairly straightforward…or straightbackward as it were. A legal description essentially is worked out from back to front. So for the following description: The West ½ of the NE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 19, Town 24 North, Range 12 West. We would break it down as follows:
Section 19, T24N R14W That’s 640 acres
NW ¼ of above Takes us down to 160 acres
NE ¼ of above Takes us down to 40 acres
W ½ of above Takes us to 20 acres.
