About Townships and RangesMost property in Florida is described in blocks containing 36 square mile sections. These blocks are called "townships". Washington County contains more than 20 whole or partial townships. (See typical Section Map)
Each
township is described by a north or south "township number" and an east
or west "range number". These numbers originate at specific point near
downtown Tallahassee in north Florida.
Because of Washington's proximity to the state origination marker, most of our "township numbers" are north (as in "township 1 north") and all of our "range numbers" are west (as in "range 15 west").
The section number is a square mile within the township.
Refer to the following Washington County Township map for geographical reference.
