grid square
Coordinate reference area
A grid square is a single cell within a grid—one of the rectangular areas formed by intersecting horizontal and vertical lines.
The term appears in map reading, where grid squares help locate positions: The coordinates put the village in grid square 4B.
In games like chess or battleship, pieces occupy grid squares.
Urban planners and ecologists also use grid squares to divide territory for systematic analysis.
