This Quarter Section feature class depicts PLSS Second Divisions . PLSS townships are subdivided in a spatial hierarchy of first, second, and third division. These divisions are typically aliquot parts ranging in size from 640 acres to 160 to 40 acres, and subsequently all the way down to 2.5 acres. The data in this feature class was translated from the PLSSSecondDiv feature class in the original production data model, which defined the second division for a specific parcel of land. Metadata

The City Engineering Quarter Section Map Index contains information regarding City Engineering quarter section numbers and Public Land Survey System (PLSS) information for each quarter section in the City and County of Denver, as well as a few of the surrounding section quarters. For each quarter section of the PLSS in the City and County of Denver, the City Engineering (later the City Surveyor's office) developed and maintained a linen sheet depicting subdivision, lot, ordinance, and easement data in that quarter section. Using Broadway and Colfax Avenue as the dividing lines, the CCD is broken into four quadrants, and the quarter sections for each quadrant are numbered beginning with 1. NOTE: Maintenance of these quarter section sheets was discontinued after 1996 due to the development of the CCD GIS.

This polygon feature class is a representation of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) quarter sections. The data are a subset of the Wisconsin DNR's 'Landnet' database, automated from 1:24,000-scale sources.*DNR staff have added an alpha field for the range direction field in this layer called DIR_ALPHA which uses W and E instead of numerical direction codes.

description: The TRSQ digital data set represents the Township, Range, Section, Quarter section, and Quarter-quarter section divisions of the state. Beginning in the late 1840s, the federal government began surveying Minnesota as part of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The resulting network of land survey lines divided the state into townships, ranges, sections, quarter sections, quarter-quarter sections and government lots, and laid the groundwork for contemporary land ownership patterns. The quarter-quarter section remains an important subdivision for rural Minnesota since these lines are used to define local boundaries, roads, and service areas. All survey lines were extended across water bodies despite the fact that U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) base maps depict them only on land. This addition allows all sections and townships to be represented as closed areas ensuring that township and range location can be determined for any point in the state. It also means that the data is not affected if lake levels change over time. The township, range and section boundaries were digitized at MnGeo (formerly the Land Management Information Center - LMIC) from the USGS 30' x 60' map series (1:100,000-scale). Quarter section and quarter-quarter section subdivisions were calculated using the section lines. They were not digitized from original plat book survey lines or from the meandered lines that surveyors laid out around water bodies. The existence of government lots within a quarter-quarter section is recorded in the data set; however, the government lot boundaries were not digitized. If a quarter-quarter section contains more than one government lot, the number of lots is recorded -- see Lineage, Section 2, for more detail. Note: For most uses, TRSQ has been superseded by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 1:24,000-scale 'Control Point Generated PLS' data set which is free online. See https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/plan-mndnr-public-land-survey for more information. Also, many county surveyors offices have more accurate PLS (Public Land Survey) data sets.

This dataset was created as a framework layer defining the land survey lines of Indiana in polygon format. The information is intended for geographic display or analysis at a scale of 1:24,000 or smaller.The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is a way of subdividing and describing land in the United States. All lands in the public domain are subject to subdivision by this rectangular system of surveys, which is regulated by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The PLSS typically divides land into 6-mile-square townships. Townships are subdivided into 36 one-mile- square sections. Sections can be further subdivided into quarter sections, quarter-quarter sections, or irregular government lots. Normally, a permanent monument, or marker, is placed at each section corner. Monuments are also placed at quarter-section corners and at other important points, such as the corners of government lots. Today permanent monuments are usually inscribed tablets set on iron rods or in concrete. The original PLSS surveys were often marked by wooden stakes or posts, marked trees, pits, or piles of rock, or other less permanent markers.

This layer provides quarter-section boundaries for the Stark County tax map. The State of Ohio was subdivided using the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The PLSS initially subdivided lands into townships, which were numbered using a grid system. Townships were numbered horizontally and cross-referenced with vertical numbers referred to as the range. Each township was further divided into one-mile sections, which were subsequently divided into quarter-sections. This layer does not reflect the initial PLSS boundaries. It respects current jurisdictional boundaries and reflects boundaries within Stark County's cities and villages as well. Each quarter section includes tax district information.

Public Land Survey System (PLSS) reference grid serves as base map information and may be used for planning and analytical purposes.Sections lines are approximate, except for those adjusted to verified section corners. Section lines adjusted to verified section corners as corners recovery sheets are received from registered surveyor.Converted from Intergraph to Graphic Data Systems (GDS) circa 1989, GDS to ESRI's SDE circa 1999. Section lines (polygons) periodically adjusted to reflect on-going section corner recovery. See Section Corners dataset for certified section and quarter corner locations, coordinates, recovery date and surveyor.

The Maricopa County Assessor static parcel maps are made available as zipped PDF files. Map IDs are broken down as Township & Range - Section - Quarter Section - Quarter Quarter. For example 807-18-04-00 would be: 807 -- Township 3 North, Range 4 East 18 -- Section 18 04 -- The SouthEast Quarter 00 -- There are no separate quarter quarter maps. MapIDs are only generated where parcels exist with Maricopa County. Last update of a MapID is indicated by the BEGIN_DATE field.

The TRS digital data set represents the Township, Range, and Section boundaries of the state. Beginning in the late 1840s, the federal government began surveying Minnesota as part of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The resulting network of land survey lines divided the state into townships, ranges, sections, quarter sections, quarter-quarter sections and government lots, and laid the groundwork for contemporary land ownership patterns.

The township, range and section boundaries were digitized at MnGeo (formerly known as the Land Management Information Center - LMIC) from stable base mylars of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 30-minute latitude by 60-minute longitude map series (1:100,000-scale). All survey lines were extended across water bodies despite the fact that U.S. Geological Survey base maps depict them only on land. This addition allows all sections and townships to be represented as closed areas (polygons) ensuring that township and range location can be determined for any point in the state. It also means that the data set is not affected if lake levels change over time.

Quarter Sections and Government lots are a part of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) from the original survey to be used as a method to describe land ownership. Generally speaking most government lots represent 1/16th of a section such as the Northeast 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4. Government lots may also be a fractional portion of a section which often occurs along natural bodies of water, and the North or West side of each township. The accuracy of the layer is dependent on any survey information provided to Lyon County GIS.

The PLSS coverage was divided into quarter, quarter, quarter sections using a script from the ESRI website. A modified IGS Public Land Survey System coverage (PLSS) was divided into several smaller coverages (T35N-T38N, T30N-T34N, ect.). These coverages were divided into quarter, quarter, quarter sections using an Avenue script from the ESRI Co. website (qtr, qtr, qtr.ave by Bob Hensey, 5/27/2002). This method assumes that the polygons are square or rectangular. However, many of the polygons are irregular in shape and will not accurately represent the corner points.

The County's system of tax maps is based on the Illinois Public Land Survey System (PLSS). In the PLSS, each township is divided into 36 sections, and each section into four quarter-sections. A quarter-section is further divided into two tax map sheets, often called "pages". Each tax map (1/4 mile by 1/2 mile) represents the east or west half of one quarter-section, and typically there are eight tax maps per section.

This data represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System including both rectangular and non-rectangular survey data. The rectangular survey data are a reference system for land tenure based upon meridian, township/range, section, section subdivision and government lots. The non-rectangular survey data represent surveys that were largely performed to protect and/or convey title on specific parcels of land such as mineral surveys and tracts. The data are largely complete in reference to the rectangular survey data at the level of first division. However, the data varies in terms of granularity of its spatial representation as well as its content below the first division. Therefore, depending upon the data source and steward, accurate subdivision of the rectangular data may not be available below the first division and the non-rectangular minerals surveys may not be present. At times, the complexity of surveys rendered the collection of data cost prohibitive such as in areas characterized by numerous, overlapping mineral surveys. In these situations, the data were often not abstracted or were only partially abstracted and incorporated into the data set. These PLSS data were compiled from a broad spectrum or sources including federal, county, and private survey records such as field notes and plats as well as map sources such as USGS 7 ½ minute quadrangles. The metadata in each data set describes the production methods for the data content. This data is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific "production" or operation and maintenance. A complete PLSS data set includes the following: PLSS Townships, First Divisions and Second Divisions (the hierarchical break down of the PLSS Rectangular surveys) PLSS Special surveys (non-rectangular components of the PLSS) Meandered Water, Corners, Metadata at a Glance (which identified last revised date and data steward) and Conflicted Areas (known areas of gaps or overlaps or inconsistencies). The Entity-Attribute section of this metadata describes these components in greater detail. The second division of the PLSS is quarter, quarter-quarter, sixteenth or government lot division of the PLSS. The second and third divisions are combined into this feature class as an intentional de-normalization of the PLSS hierarchical data. The polygons in this feature class represent the smallest division to the sixteenth that has been defined for the first division. For example In some cases sections have only been divided to the quarter. Divisions below the sixteenth are in the Special Survey or Parcel Feature Class. The second division of the PLSS is quarter, quarter-quarter, sixteenth or government lot division of the PLSS. The second and third divisions are combined into this feature class as an intentional de-normalization of the PLSS hierarchical data. The polygons in this feature class represent the smallest division to the sixteenth that has been defined for the first division. For example In some cases sections have only been divided to the quarter. Divisions below the sixteenth are in the Special Survey or Parcel Feature Class.
