Title: Public Land Survey System
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: map
Description:
Abstract: Public Land Survey System - Original data from United State Geological Survey (USGS), digitized from USGS quad maps. Modified by SFWMD, section corners and lines adjusted where COGO'd survey data was available. Township and Range polygons added as a seperate subclass.To identify Section records use definition query as TRtype = 1; to identify Township Range records use definition query as TRtype = 2.Most actions or operations involving water resource projects require some knowledge of the boundary locations, and other information related to the Sections.
Purpose: Districtwide layer of Section, Township and Ranges.
