I think you're right here, though I probably would indicate the
township boundaries on most maps in a similar (though somewhat less

It sounds like you may have just found a use for the missing
admin_level=7 in the US.
It’s not missing, admin_level intentionally used only even numbers in
case something was found to be between the defined levels.
Townships are at the same level as cities/towns/villages/other
municipalities[1], [2]. I’m sure someone correct me if I’m wrong, but
my understanding is you won’t find a chunk of land that is both
“city|village|etc.” and “township” simultaneously; cities et al. can
annex portions of townships easily, but they then are no longer part of
that township.
