Row to Feature Class Acrpy

Question

I am currently writing a python program to add new monuments to our sde. I am having an issue turning a single row into a feature class. This way I can do a Select by Location on just one section of the map. The issue is the points that I have could be in more than one section. This causes errors on generating the points name. Any tips or tricks to do this?

Sorry I am not a gis person. I am a programmer so the terminology is hard for me to fallow some times. I am trying to name a monument (points) based on PLSS sections and quarter sections. The new monuments come in on a csv file. I have created geometry for them. I then do a select by location using these new monuments to select quarter sections that contain these points. I then select the old monuments (from our sde) by the quarter sections. I loop over the old monuments to get the highest point name. I then increment it by one and add that to the new monuments attribute table. The issue happens when the next point in the csv file is in a different quarter section. ALL the old monuments from the selected quarter sections are used causing the point name to be wrong on the next csv point. Does that clear it up? I could add my code if it helps.
