PLSS maps



A Public Land Survey System (PLSS) map is the product of a system of dividing up land within the United States so it may be better cataloged and understood. This is especially useful for areas of the United States that are rural, undeveloped, or under some type of public control. It is also useful in the sense of a cadastral map for organizing pieces of property under a common system. This particular PLSS map shows the division of areas in Alaska so that users of the USDA's NRCS's data on ArcMap can find their own property.
