The Origin of the 33-Foot Easement Based on the Public Land Survey System (PLSS):

Описание: Early U.S. land surveys (starting in the late 1700s) divided land into square-mile sections with section lines 66 feet wide, or one surveyor’s chain (a “chain” being a standard 66-foot measurement used by surveyors). Half of that 33 feet represents one side of the section line. So when rural roads or easements were laid out along section lines, each property on either side would typically grant 33 feet to make a 66-foot total right-of-way. Adopted by Counties and Road Authorities: Many county road systems were designed around these 66-foot rights-of-way. Even if the full width wasn’t used, 33 feet became the default allowance per side for road access or utilities. Carried Over to Farm Easements: Over time, private landowners and attorneys used that same measurement when drafting access easements partly out of habit, partly because surveyors already marked boundaries in 33-foot increments.
