PLSS Map

Public Land Survey System (PLSS) maps subdivide (normally into 6 square mile townships, and then subdivided again into 36 one square mile sections) and describe land. Not all states are included in the PLSS, nor do these subdivisions represent legal boundaries of property. This map shows the townships of the PLSS of a section of Florida. This map is planimetric, and could possibly even fall into the thematic category for its data on the amount of townships (though not as simple as other thematic maps).
