Resource Abstract:
- description: This data represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System including both rectangular and non-rectangular
survey data. The rectangular survey data are a reference system for land tenure based upon meridian, township/range, section,
section subdivision and government lots. The non-rectangular survey data represent surveys that were largely performed to
protect and/or convey title on specific parcels of land such as mineral surveys and tracts. The data are largely complete
in reference to the rectangular survey data at the level of first division. However, the data varies in terms of granularity
of its spatial representation as well as its content below the first division. Therefore, depending upon the data source and
steward, accurate subdivision of the rectangular data may not be available below the first division and the non-rectangular
minerals surveys may not be present. At times, the complexity of surveys rendered the collection of data cost prohibitive
such as in areas characterized by numerous, overlapping mineral surveys. In these situations, the data were often not abstracted
or were only partially abstracted and incorporated into the data set. These PLSS data were compiled from a broad spectrum
or sources including federal, county, and private survey records such as field notes and plats as well as map sources such
as USGS 7 minute quadrangles. The metadata in each data set describes the production methods for the data content. This data
is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific "production" or operation and maintenance.
A complete PLSS data set includes the following: PLSS Townships, First Divisions and Second Divisions (the hierarchical break
down of the PLSS Rectangular surveys) PLSS Special surveys (non-rectangular components of the PLSS) Meandered Water, Corners,
Metadata at a Glance (which identified last revised date and data steward) and Conflicted Areas (known areas of gaps or overlaps
or inconsistencies). The Entity-Attribute section of this metadata describes these components in greater detail. This is a
graphic representation of the data stewards based on PLSS Townships in PLSS areas. In non-PLSS areas the metadata at a glance
is based on a data steward defined polygons such as a city or county or other units. The identification of the data steward
is a general indication of the agency that will be responsible for updates and providing the authoritative data sources. In
other implementations this may have been termed the alternate source, meaning alternate to the BLM. But in the shared environment
of the NSDI the data steward for an area is the primary coordinator or agency responsible for making updates or causing updates
to be made. The data stewardship polygons are defined and provided by the data steward.; abstract: This data represents the
