How many square miles does a township contain in the rectangular survey system?

36 square miles
16 square miles
24 square miles
48 square miles

The correct answer is: 36 square miles

Townships in the rectangular survey system contain 36 square miles of land. This is determined by dividing the township into a grid of 36 sections, each being 1 square mile. Option B is incorrect because it is half of a township, and option C is incorrect because it is two-thirds of a township. Option D is incorrect because it is double the amount of land contained in a standard township. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
