Rh_4m Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) ive been reading this PDF as to understand how PLSS descriptions work, and its *mostly* been making sense to me: PLSSTutorial-1.pdf however, i have one small issue in the guide, it mentions basing the "range" and "township" positions off of a "starting point" but, it doesn't specify why the starting point is where it's at, and it also doesn't explain where/how to identify a state's starting point is the "starting point" a fixed position on a state? or does it vary, say, based off the description given in a PLSS coordinate, like the one I've attached? (covered the county name for the sake of confidentiality) big thanks to anyone who can help out! Edited March 19 by Rh_4m simplifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) See map of “starting points” where local principal meridians and baselines are established. Some areas have no starting points. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Land_Survey_System Edited March 19 by DPS Ammonite My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
