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

Explanation:
In a 1:2000 sectional cadastral map, each map sheet shows four small quarters of a section arranged in a 2x2 grid, and one of those quarters is shaded. To identify which quarter is shaded, you read the position of the shading relative to the grid lines on the bottom-right map tile and cross-check with the sheet’s numbering pattern. On this sheet, the bottom-right quadrant corresponds to the third sub-section in the grid’s labeling. The coordinates printed on the margin (CM 14°49'N -120°54'E) place you on that same sheet, and tracing to the shaded area confirms it sits in the third quarter. So the shaded quarter is the third sub-section.
