PLSS Base Map of Minnesota

http://www.fairview-industries.com/standardmodule/mn-exmpl.htm

Public Land Survey System is an example of a Systematic Land Partitioning System (or a cadastral system which demonstrates land ownership). The basis of the PLSS grid is comprised of a base line (east-west) and a principal meridian (north- south) that run through the initial point. The above map shows a portion of Minnesota's PLSS Base Map (a part of the 1:100,000 Worthington Quadrangle), with each block representing a quarter quarter section.
