PLSS map

http://www.fairview-industries.com/standardmodule/mn-exmpl.htm


The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is a way of subdividing and describing land in the United States. The map above shows a town in Minnesota subdivided. Each one of the smaller sized squares is 1/16 of a section. The Bureau of Land Management designed this map so there would be an increase in the clarity of communication when dealing with cadastral matters, between cooperating organizations.
