In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.The legal description of a tract of land under the PLSS includes the name of the state, name of the county, township number, range number, section number, and portion of a section. Sections are customarily surveyed into smaller squares by repeated halving and quartering. A quarter section is 160 acres (65 ha) and a quarter-quarter section is 40 acres (16 ha). In 1832 the smallest area of land that could be acquired was reduced to the 40-acre (16 ha) quarter-quarter section, and this size parcel became entrenched in American mythology. After the Civil War, freedmen (freed slaves) were reckoned to be self-sufficient with 40 acres and a mule. In the 20th century real estate developers preferred working with 40-acre (16 ha) parcels. The phrases front 40 and back 40, referring to farm fields, indicate the front and back quarter-quarter sections of land.
One of the reasons for creating sections of 640 acres (260 ha) was the ease of dividing into halves and quarters while still maintaining a whole number of acres. A section can be halved seven times in this way, down to a 5-acre (2 ha) parcel, or half of a quarter-quarter-quarter section—an easily surveyed 50-square-chain (2 ha) area. This system was of great practical value on the American frontier, where surveyors often had a shaky grasp of mathematics and were required to work quickly.A description of a quarter-quarter section in standard abbreviated form, might look like NW 1/4, NE 1/4, Sec. 34, T.3S, R.1W, 1st P.M. or, alternatively, 34-3-1 NW4NE4 1PM. In expanded form this would read the Northwest quarter of the Northeast quarter of Section 34 of Township 3 South, Range 1 West, first Principal Meridian.

After extensive research, it appears that amberbell does not have a specific, universally accepted definition. Its possible that it may be a proper noun or a term used within a specific context or industry. If you have more details or context, please provide them. However, it could potentially refer to:

A type of wildflower or plant, based on the common formula of combining color and plant species in a name. An artisanal or decorative product, possibly a type of bell or wind chime. A unique name for a pet, character, or business.

Please consider these definitions as interpretative rather than definitive.

A lag bolt, also known as a lag screw, is a large, heavy-duty fastener with a hexagonal head and a coarse-threaded, sharp-pointed end.
