Township & Section Label Options Dialog box

Township Label

By default, this option is set to display township labels once you zoom to 400,000. However, you can select a new zoom level from the Scale list, or type a new zoom into the Scale fields.

Next, select the check box for each label type you want to see: DLS and NTS. As well, choose if you want to display the labels along the edges of the map or in the center of each township.

Section Label

By default, this option is set to display section labels once you zoom to 100,000. However, you can select a new zoom level from the Scale list, or type a new zoom into the Scale field.

Select the Enable Section Labels check box to display the labels. You can then decide to label all sections or just the four corner sections.
