In the US land is divided initially on prime meridian, then range, township, section and 1/4 section and 1/4-1/4
36 sections to a township,
A section consists of 640 acres
A section is 1 mile by 1 mile square
Acres are 240'x240' square.
Legal land description are general Township, Range, Section and location on the section
So for example PM6 T29W R104N Section 25 is one square mile somewhere in Wyoming
A legal description for sections that have been subdivided is broken done into blocks and lots.

Here's how it works in Alberta Canada:
Any parcel of land in Alberta can be pinpointed by its legal land description. Legal land descriptions are usually based on the Alberta Township Survey (ATS) system. The ATS is a grid network dividing the province into near equal-sized parcels of land.
Under the ATS, land is designated as being west of the 4th, 5th or 6th Meridians (110°, 114° and 118° west longitude, respectively). Between meridians are six-mile-wide columns called "ranges." Ranges are numbered consecutively from east to west starting at Range 1 west of each meridian. "Townships" are six-mile-wide rows that intersect ranges and are numbered consecutively from Township 1 at the Montana border to Township 126 at the Northwest Territories border. The term township also describes the six by six-mile square formed by the intersection of ranges and townships. Townships are divided into 36 sections, each section measuring one mile by one mile. Sections can then be divided into quarters (NE, NW, SE and SW) as indicated.
