A PLSS map of Public Land Survey System is a way of describing and dividing land in the United States. The Bureau of Land Management is responsible for regulating the land in the US. All lands in the public domain are subject to division. This happens by a system of rectangular system of surveys that usually divides lands into 6-mile long townships which are then further divided into 1-mile long square sections. The PLSS is the standard for most land transfers and ownership in the US today.
