A plot of land that is 30 miles square contains how many townships?

  1. 0.69

  2. 4

  3. 9

  4. 25

The correct answer is: 25

In the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) used in many states, including California, a township is a square tract of land measuring 6 miles on each side. A plot of land that is 30 miles square would contain 25 townships because it would be 5 townships by 5 townships (5 x 5 = 25). Therefore, the correct answer is D. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the calculation of the number of townships in a 30-mile square plot of land.
