PLSS Map, Public Land Survey System. The PLSS is a systematic way of organizing the land in the US. To begin you start at a Meridian Line running North/South and a Base Line running East/West. From there you have townships made of of six miles by six miles blocks of land. Finally you take the townships and break them down in to one mile my one mile blocks of land. These maps are used for Surveying, property ownership, and as a way of classifying land.
