some help with reading geology field trips?

[Rh_4m]

i’ve been taking a look at some geology papers on ISGS library in search for some potentially interesting fossil sites, and i’m a little confused on something…

 

whenever i see a stop along the trip, it will have something like “SE 1/4, SW 1/4, NE 1/4, Sec. 10, T. 28 N. R. 11E., [county]” with the stop. Is this the location of that stop? And if so how do i “read” it? Like, what does it all mean and if it does suggest its location, how do i figure out where that location actually is?

 

thanks for any help!

These are PLSS coordinates. Here's a tutorial on how to read them.
