PLSS Maps


PLSS stands for Public Land Survey System. This surveying method was used historically over the largest fraction of the United States to survey and spatially identify land parcels before designation of eventual ownership, particularly for rural, wild or undeveloped land. This map shows the extent of the system in the United States. This area encompasses major portions of 30 southern and western states. The PLSS is also many times referred to as a rectangular survey system.
