Here's a question I have never gotten a straight answer on. Say you take an aerial photo of a tract of land and you divide it into 1 mile square grids. If that land is flat.... say in Kansas or something... it has 640 acres per square. But what if that square mile is a huge mountain. The surface area is obviously greater than 640 acres. I always wondered, what does BLM use when they calculate the acreage. A flat grid looking down, or the actual surface area? If its the actual surface area, at what point does a slope become too steep to not consider it in the total? Obviously if you buy a 5 acre plot on the side of a mountain where the slope is gentle, its a 5 acre plot. But what if adjoining that parcel, the slope increases to 60 degrees? Is 43.5K square feet on that slope still considered one acre if you wanted to buy it? At 90 degrees... ie. a cliff... the answer would obviously be no. So where is the line in the sand drawn as to when that 43.5K sqf figure applies? That's why I always wondered if it was just based on an aerial grid superimposed down upon the map as if the land was completely flat.
