Just got a notice of hearing for increased density in my section! Also just got two offers to purchase, one for $18,000 per net mineral acre! Martha, do you have any info on what is in the works? Also got a “Exception Under” filing and have no idea what that is! This is Section 10 5N5W and was filed by Camino. In the Description after range it has “West of the IM”. Anyone know what that means?
IM = Indian Meridian
“An initial point was arbitrarily selected about one mile south of Fort Arbuckle (at a point approximately six miles west of present Davis, in Murray County). From Initial Point, a north-south line called the Indian Meridian and an east-west line called the Indian Base Line were surveyed across all of present Oklahoma except No Man’s Land (the Panhandle). Then the land was surveyed from Initial Point by drawing a series of lines every six miles north and south from the Indian Base Line (township lines) and another series of lines every six miles east and west from the Indian Meridian (range lines). There are twenty-nine townships north and nine south of the Base Line, and there are twenty-seven ranges east and twenty-six west of the Indian Meridian. Their intersections form a grid of blocks measuring six miles square. Within each block are thirty-six one-mile-square blocks called “sections.” Using these lines, all land in Oklahoma (except the Panhandle) is surveyed from Initial Point, using Indian Meridian and Indian Base Line as determining factors.”
