For the 1:2000 sectional cadastral map at top right, which sectional number is shaded?

Understanding how a 1:2000 sectional cadastral map works helps you pick the right shaded area. These maps divide the area around a reference point into four quarter-sections, each with its own sectional number. The shading marks the quarter that contains the given coordinate. By placing CM 14°49'N -120°54'E on the top-right map, you can see which of the four quarters holds that point. That quarter is labeled as section number two, so the shaded area corresponds to the second section. The other quarters don’t contain the coordinate, so they aren’t shaded.
