Most land in Alberta was surveyed as farmland, using the township girds measuring 6x6 miles. The 1 mile section boundaries often end up as major roadways when urban development displaces rural. Commonly ( not always) there are 14 blocks within the 1 mile boundaries of the section. In Edmonton's west side for example, the major streets are at 1/2 mile intervals, including;142, 149, 156, 163, and 170th streets. Notice there are 7 blocks for each 1/2 mile...thus 14 per mile.
