Township & Range ⇄ Latitude/Longitude Converter

Type the description the way it appears on your deed, lease or well licence, for example “Sec 14 T2N R68W 6th PM” or “NE1/4 SW1/4 Section 14, Township 2 North, Range 68 West, Colorado”, and press Convert. The format is detected automatically and you get latitude/longitude, degrees-minutes-seconds and UTM, with the parcel outlined on the map.

Yes. It reads Dominion Land Survey quarter sections and LSDs for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the BC Peace River Block (e.g. “NW 32 38 08 W3” or “12-32-038-08W5”, including well UWIs), the BC NTS petroleum and natural gas grid (e.g. “d-010-A/094-H-16”), and the Canada Lands grid used in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon (e.g. “M-41-60-10-121-00”).

US results use the Bureau of Land Management's surveyed section data (CadNSDI), so a section's position is its BLM centre and quarters are placed within it. In tests with random points inside real BLM sections, 98% came back with the exact section. BC NTS and northern grid results follow the exact grid definitions. Canadian DLS results are computed from the survey's geometry and are typically within a few hundred metres. None of this replaces a legal survey.

Yes. Paste latitude/longitude (decimal or degrees-minutes-seconds) or UTM coordinates, or simply click the map. You'll get the US township, section and quarter-quarter, or the Canadian quarter section, LSD, NTS unit or grid unit at that spot.

Yes. Open the Batch tab and drop a CSV, TSV, JSON or GeoJSON file, paste a shared Google Sheets link, or paste cells copied from Sheets or Excel. Pick the column (or latitude/longitude, UTM or township/range columns) and convert thousands of rows at once. Export to CSV, JSON, GeoJSON or KML, or copy the results straight back into Google Sheets.

Yes. It runs in the web browser on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Windows laptops, Macs and Chromebooks; there's nothing to buy from an app store. For one-tap access, choose “Install app”, or “Add to Home Screen” in Safari on iPhone and iPad, and it opens full-screen like a native app. The same tool works with touch on a phone in the truck or with a mouse and spreadsheets on a laptop in the office.

No. The converter, every survey system (US PLSS, Canada DLS/LSD, BC NTS, NWT/Nunavut/Yukon grid, UTM) and the base map are built into the app, so conversions work with no signal at all. Your phone or tablet's GPS also works without internet, so you can see where you are and which section, quarter or LSD you're standing in. Only the street/satellite map layers, address search and Google Sheets import need a connection.

While you still have Wi-Fi: 1) open the site once, or install it as an app; 2) on the map, tap “⬇ Offline regions”; 3) download the province or state you'll be working in. That gives you its roads for turn-by-turn directions, plus well locations for British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The download size is shown before you start, and you can add as many regions as you need. Data is stored on your own device, survives restarts, and loads from there even in airplane mode, so you can navigate to a quarter section, LSD or well site with no coverage. You can delete a region any time to free space.

Yes. Downloaded regions work the same way in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a laptop. You can also download the single-file offline version, which keeps the converter, batch import/export and map in one HTML file you can open from your computer or a USB stick, with no internet and no install.

UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives positions as a zone plus easting and northing in metres. Every result includes UTM coordinates (WGS84/NAD83), and you can type UTM, such as “13T 502522 4443147”, to convert it to latitude/longitude and a land description.

Yes. Tap the location button on the map: your phone's GPS works without internet, and you'll see your position plus the township, section, quarter or LSD you're in. For turn-by-turn directions, open “Offline regions” while you're online and download your province or state; its roads are stored on your device. Then press “Navigate here” on any result to get a road route, including the off-road last stretch, with live re-routing. Without downloaded roads you still get a straight-line distance and compass bearing.

CSV, Excel (.xlsx), JSON, GeoJSON, KML for Google Earth, Esri Shapefile, DXF for CAD (in UTM metres), GPX for GPS units, and a PDF report with a map. GeoJSON, KML, Shapefile and DXF can include the parcel boundaries as well as the points.

Yes. A REST API converts single locations or batches of up to 1,000, does reverse lookups and address search, and an MCP endpoint lets AI assistants such as Claude use the converter directly. See the Developer API page.

No. Conversions run entirely in your browser and nothing you type or import is sent to a server. Importing a Google Sheet reads it directly from Google into your browser. Only optional online features send data: address search sends the address you type to the geocoding service, and creating a short share link stores that list of locations so your team can open it.

Systems with no mathematical grid: lot and concession or cadastre numbers in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, metes-and-bounds descriptions in Texas and the other non-PLSS US states, and Manitoba river lots. Government lots in the US are shown at their section.
