I have data in the form of Section, Township, Range and meridian. I have 300,000 data points from all over the USA. Is there any way i can write R or python scripts to batch convert all the points to latitude and longitude? What kind of equations they use to convert it into latitude and longitude?
I found this online tool which gives latitude and longitude of centroid and four corners of the section, but I want to do the same thing using R or Python.

I tried to search online but couldn't find any information regarding this except online tools where we put information for each point manually.
first few lines of my data:
