This map of Minnesota cities, townships, and counties was published by MnGeo in January 2019. The primary data set for the map is the "Cities, Townships, and Unorganized Territories" (MnCTU) data maintained by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Other reference data on the map include County Seats and Other Cities, County Boundaries, Interstate, US Trunk, and State Trunk Highways, Major Rivers, Lakes, County and State Boundaries. The download is a PDF file with embedded layers that can be printed at E-scale (36" x 48").

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.

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.

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.

Minnesota's original public land survey plat maps were created between 1848 and 1907 during the first government land survey of the state by the U.S. Surveyor General's Office. This collection of more than 3,600 maps includes later General Land Office (GLO) and Bureau of Land Management maps up through 2001. Scanned images of the maps are available in several digital formats and most have been georeferenced.

The survey plat maps, and the accompanying survey field notes, serve as the fundamental legal records for real estate in Minnesota; all property titles and descriptions stem from them. They also are an essential resource for surveyors and provide a record of the state's physical geography prior to European settlement. Finally, they testify to many years of hard work by the surveying community, often under very challenging conditions.

The deteriorating physical condition of the older maps (drawn on paper, linen, and other similar materials) and the need to provide wider public access to the maps, made handling the original records increasingly impractical. To meet this challenge, the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS), the State Archives of the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS), the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), MnGeo and the Minnesota Association of County Surveyors collaborated in a digitization project which produced high quality (800 dpi), 24-bit color images of the maps in standard TIFF, JPEG and PDF formats - nearly 1.5 terabytes of data. Funding was provided by MnDOT.

In 2010-11, most of the JPEG plat map images were georeferenced. The intent was to locate the plat images to coincide with statewide geographic data without appreciably altering (warping) the image. This increases the value of the images in mapping software where they can be used as a background layer.

A polygon dataset of PLSS sections in Hubbard County, MN.Whereas a Survey Township constitutes 36mi^2, a Section constitutes 1mi^2, with there being approximately 36 sections per township.Total Sections: 1008There are a total of 1320 attributes stored in the data table, with 1008 of those being section boundaries and the remaining 212 features pertaining to where hydrological features cross section boundaries. These can be distinguished by a lack of "Section Label", "Section Identifier", "TWPSHPNO" and "RANGENO".Section numbers are labeled in alternating right-left to left-right order every 6 sections, beginning from the NE township corner.

The Minnesota broadband interactive map provides tools and layers to examine broadband availability at your address, town, township, county, tribal nation, etc. Access and availability data displayed in this map are of a minimum speed threshold of 25 Mbps download/3 Mbps upload. The map is focused on residential fixed, non-mobile terrestrial service areas. The current national benchmark for broadband is 25 Mbps download/3 Mbps upload. The State of Minnesota’s universal goal is 100 Mbps/20 Mbps by 2026.

By state law, the Office of Broadband Development at the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is to contract with an independent organization to prepare broadband availability maps, and Connected Nation is the vendor selected to create these Minnesota maps. At the federal level, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has contracted with CostQuest Associates, Inc. to create the national broadband map.

Data and layer updates are ongoing. More details can be found in the information panel on the right side of the map. More broadband products, including static maps and statistical charts, are available on DEED’s Maps and Data webpage: https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/broadband/maps/

The Development Rights Maps for Dakota County, Minnesota. These maps are intended to aid townships in determining future development rights of parcels within their jurisdiction. The maps show owner name, acreage, year a house was built, and year a parcel was last divided or reassembled for each parcel. Please note, last division information is only reliable for parcels altered after 1984.
