[quote=Anonymous]Not surprising that Nevada is in on this. When the US was surveyed, it was decided that Nevada was just too impossible a place to survey it in the same manner that the rest of the country was (when territory was being turned into states). Land that was handed to the Nevada government turned into a snakepit of corruption (I read about this during the Bundy standoff because of general curiosity about federal lands in Nevada). As the US began closing the frontier, one thing that happened was that one section out of every 36 (i.e. one section per township) was designated school trust lands. Income from trust lands supports public education in western states (i.e. what was the west at the end of the civil war, so not just the far west). Nevada squandered theirs via corrupt sales involving public officials and their friends. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/education/opportunity-lost-nevadas-school-trust-lands-sold-off-over-150-years-1905104/[/quote]
