The Public Land Survey System is a manner of dividing and describing US public domain lands through a series of rectangular grid surveys, according to standards set by the Bureau of Land Management. PLSS maps are usually divided into 6 mile square townships, which are then sub-divided into 36 one mile squares. The example of a PLSS map above shows where the three corners of Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas meet, and what can happen due to the history of the surveys and the manner in which they are established using baselines and Principal Meridians.
