If you are standing in Section 20 and go to Section 25, what direction are you going?

To determine the correct direction from Section 20 to Section 25, it's important to understand how land is divided in the United States through the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). Each township consists of 36 sections that are laid out in a grid.

Section 20 is located in the middle of a township, while Section 25 is located a bit to the south and to the east of Section 20, assuming that you are working within a standard grid layout. When you move from Section 20 to Section 25, you are moving both south and a bit to the east.

This combination of moving south and to the east indicates a southeast direction. Hence, the answer identifying the movement from Section 20 to 25 is indeed southeast, as it accurately captures the dual directional change being made.
