Highlight

Congressional section lines are open for public travel without the necessity of any governmental action.
If a county commission orders a public highway to be established along a congressional section line, it is necessary only to establish a public highway where deviations from the section line occur.
Uncertainty as to the amount of damages does not preclude recovery. Damages may be awarded if a reasonable basis for computing the approximate amount is provided.
