Why are the counties of Michigan organized in a grid pattern?

Geography
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The counties of Michigan are organized in a grid pattern because the internal subdivision of the state followed the pattern of surveying established by the Land Ordinance of 1785, which established a rectangular division of the lands of the Northwest Territory, with the objective of facilitating an equal distribution between settlers who would be sent there to populate the region west of the Appalachians.

Thus, the Northwest Territory began to be subdivided into a rectangular shape, and the counties in this region began to take this shape. So when Michigan was established as a state, its counties (as well as those of the other Midwest states) continued to maintain this rectangular shape.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

A. culture . . . environment

Explanation:

Boston, including its harbor and the land area surrounding it, have experienced lot of changes over the course of the past few centuries. The people of course have been responsible for these changes, as they have been the ones performing the actions that led to the changes, based on their culture, perceptions, and needs.

Every culture has its own unique characteristics and trademark features, and that is almost always seen in the manner in which the environment is changed by the humans. The culture pretty much dictates what will be built, how it will be built, the organization, the aesthetics, the meaning. Simply said, the culture is a key component of the changes inflicted on the environment by the humans.
