When you say "SESW, SWSE and the SESE of Sec 19, Twp 6 and Range 10," you have part of the legal description of a specific property. I believe you're talking about three 40-acre plats in a rectangle, 1/4 mile by 3/4 mile in shape. Working backwards is best. Range 10 West, Township 6 North will tell you the specific township (by name). Section 19 is a specific 640 acres within that township. Then the SE, SW, etc, specify smaller acreages within the 640. If my assumptions are correct, then I should be able to get you right down to the street names. What is the source of your info? Can you re-check your transcription? Only as examples, it could look like this: NENW 8/ 3N 4W 3rd Meridian 40 ac Clinton Co. Or like this: T3N, R4W, 3rd PM, 10 ac section 1, 120 acres section 2. Or like this: SE1/2 NE1/4 Sec 6 T1N R8W 3rd Meridian 95.78 ac St. Clair Co, IL, USA. This 3rd way is most informative. IF all of my assumptions are correct, the acreage is on the attached link: http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/image.asp?S=14&T=2&X=232&Y=1348&Z=15& W=2 On the left edge, you will see R 10 W in red letters. The red box that surrounds it MAY BE your section 19. It's definitely A section 19; I'm not 100% sure it yours. HOWEVER, Piasa Creek runs right thru it! The 120 acres would be along the bottom edge of section 19, roughly from the creek across Hwy. 100 to the right side of the red box. Does any of this make sense? Jeez, I love engineering. Does anyone know offhand what township (name) Godfrey is in? Larry Wernle O'Fallon, IL [email protected]
