Cadastral PLSS Standardized Data - PLSSTownship, NW - Version 1.1
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This feature class is part of the Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) CADNSDI publication data set for rectangular
and non-rectangular Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data set. The metadata description in the Cadastral Reference System
Feature Data Set more fully describes the entire data set. This feature class contains the Public Land Survey System Townships
which are the primary unit of survey for the PLSS, nominally six miles on a side, usually containing 36 sections. PLSS Townships
are numbered from base lines and principal meridians.

Title Cadastral PLSS Standardized Data - PLSSTownship, NW - Version 1.1
This feature class provides the polygons for the PLSS Townships. These polygons are built from the PLSS Fully Intersected
feature class by dissolving on the PLSSID in the Fully Intersected feature class.

description This feature class is built from the PLSSIntersected feature through a series of SQL selects, dissolves and geoprocessing.
The selection uses only the current PLS data so any polygon labeled with a survey note of R (replaced) will not be used in
building derived feature classes. Polygons are combined based on the attributes and rules of combination.

measure Description
The spatial features in this feature class were derived from the PLSSIntersected feature class. The topology rules for this
feature class are re-checked after the dissolve process. The polygon edges in this feature class overlay the polygon lines
in the PLSSIntersected feature class.
