A PLSS (Public Land Survey System) map is used to subdivide land in the United States, except for most of the eastern seaboard. It is a rectangular system of surveys that is used to divide public lands, owned by the federal government, for the benefit of the public. A PLSS map is a systematic land partitioning system that divides land into 6 square mile townships where a permanent marker is placed at each corner. This map is an example of a PLSS, it shows the United States and the colored portions are the portions that it covers using many different collectively used surveys.
