I have a few question for those who have a better understanding of benchmarks, survey markers, and maps. Last weekend I found the marker below approximately HERE on the way to Lost Lake:

In the snippet below, the location for that marker appears to match the lower left corner of the central red box in the snippet below (full map here; source):

I am wondering what the data on the marker (i.e. "1/4", "S36") means. I believe the arrow on the marker was pointing due east, but I didn't verify it against my compass at the time. On the map, are the red boxes considered the equivalent of townships, and why are the red boundary lines not always connected? Thanks!
