Section, Township, Range by Lesley Turner Image: Lesley Turner, 'Section, Township, Range', 2013, 24" x 12", wool. cotton. silk linen, alpaca, hemp. Europeans divided up the prairies with an imposed grid deciding ownership limits. Even when ownership and land use changes over time the original grid is still visible as a cultural imprint on the landscape.
