USGS Public Land Survey System Land Grid Data

DDS's Public Land Survey is a seamless, high-resolution database of Congressional Survey townships and sections that is ideal for base maps and plotting land ownership and leases. DDS's Public Land Survey is digitized from USGS 1:24,000 series topographic maps using a highly accurate spatial averaging digitizing technique, which captures corner boundaries to +/- 40 foot accuracies. Data layers include Township and Section Boundaries. Tabular attributes include meridian, township, range, and section numbers. The Public Land Survey (also known as PLSS, Digital Land Grid, or Digitized Section, Township and Range) precisely overlays Natural Color Aerial Photography as well as the USGS United States Topographic Maps, making it useful for indexing and analysis.
