Creation of a grid for SAR evidence search

lkasch50

I would like to be able to create a grid of squares on the map for evidence search.  Each square needs to be about 1 acre.  CalTopo apparently won't do a grid with cells that small.  Is there a work around? How is it done?

    K9 has requested this for awhile we usually search in 1 acre blocks. If we could just make a polygon 1 acre then copy and paste I tried several time but not able to make it work.

    It’s a little cumbersome but I think that it will work for you. Create a polygon of the entire search area using individual parallel lines.
    Right click on a line and select transform. Then select create points. Create points every 208 feet. Do this on each line. That sound give you I acre boxes.
