Earth curvature noted in land surveys
The geological survey explains that small tracts ignore Earth's spherical surface. Surface irregularities outweigh curvature, causing true north south lines to converge as one moves from the equator. For large areas curvature becomes evident, and in general land office surveys, blocks of a square mile are adjusted, with curvature effects pushed into the northwest corner of each six mile block.
