Baseline (Surveyal)In United States land surveyal, a baseline is the principle east-west line that divides townships between north and south. The baseline meets its corresponding meridian at the point of origin for the land survey. The baseline for Nebraska and Kansas is shared as the border for both states (40th parallel).
In Canadian land surveyal, a base line is one of the many principle east-west lines that correspond to 4 tiers of townships (2 tiers north and 2 south). Each base line is about 24 miles apart, with the first base line at the 49th parallel, the Western US-Canadian border. See Also *Survey township
