Mea culpa. You are correct, of course, about the NW Ordinance. It was the Land Ordinance of 1785 that created the township divisions under the Public Land Survey System. The PLSS also designated section #16 in each township to go toward funding public education, and sections #8,11,26 and 29 were retained by the federal government for its own purposes (ostensibly to support Revolutionary War veterans).
So, what size dome you want; 2.6 km sq, 5.2 km sq ( the area of the four federal sections), or10 km sq? Plan your structure appropriately; just remember that a dome will be a round building in a square plot. A REALLY square plot!
