| Description | In 1785, the Federal Government began using the rectangular survey system to organize, divide, and sell government-owned frontier land. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 marked the beginning of land surveying in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region. Land surveying in Wisconsin began after the War of 1812, when effective control of the region passed from the British to the Americans. These surveys led to the division of Wisconsin into townships that could be divided and sold to settlers. |
