What does STR stand for?

  1. Section / Township / Range

  2. Section / Technical / Range

  3. System / Township / Range

  4. Section / Township / Ratio

The correct answer is: Section / Township / Range

The abbreviation STR typically stands for "Section / Township / Range," which is used to reference specific legal land descriptions in the United States. While the other options may contain some of the same terms, they are not used in the same context or have different meanings. For example, choice B includes the term "Technical," which is not commonly used in land descriptions. Choice C includes the term "System," which is not a common component of legal land descriptions either. And choice D includes the term "Ratio," which has no relation to land descriptions at all. Therefore, the best choice is A, which accurately represents the commonly used abbreviation for this purpose.
