Indiana has three to four sets of "original" PLSS notes and plats.The field survey set, which the field surveyor originally wrote, is preserved at the Indiana State Archive for approximately 30% of the counties in Indiana.The federal set, which the GLO transcribed, is preserved at the National Archive.The state set, which the GLO transcribed, is preserved at the Indiana State ArchiveThe county sets, transcribed later from the state set by the state auditor, are available from each county surveyor.The file name indicates the source and geographical location within the PLSS. O for the Original set F for the Federal set S for the State set C** for the County set PM0* for the 1st or 2nd Principal Meridian T**N or T**S for the Township (North & South) R**E or R**W for the Range (East & West)This project was made possible by Clayton J. Hogston, who donated over 11,000 hours to create the linked documents. Other contributors include Clayton J.
