Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

It sounds like originally that person owned property in both sections. When the assessor's office changed over to their new numbering process (that is in line with Township, Range and then Section), they probably just used the tract that the owner had the most property in.
The assessor's office only has the responsibility to value property for taxes. The landmen that are running title will NOT rely on the assessor's records.
I read everyones message board. Just nosey.
The sections are as follows:
06 - 05 - 04 - 03 - 02 - 01
07 - 08 - 09 - 10 - 11 - 12
18 - 17 - 16 - 15 - 14 - 13
19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24
30 - 29 - 28 - 27 - 26 - 25
31 - 32 - 33 - 34 - 35 - 36
I believe it was done originally because this was the most practical way to survey the sections. No GPS back then.
