Cadastral PLSS Standardized Data - PLSSReferenceGrid, NW - Version 1.1
Metadata from the RGIS Metadata Repository
Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
-
- Report The BLM GCDB personnel using software tools such as dataprep and native GS
tools in ArcGIS checked the data for attribute accuracy by verifying it against land
records databases such as legal land description (LLD) and Case Status databases.
There may be instances where information in survey records and LLD and Case do not
agree or places where records are missing. If there are questions about the
attribution of a polygon contact the identified data steward.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
-
- Attribute Accuracy Value
- Attribute Accuracy Explanation
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
-
- Report The polygon lines are built from the PLSS Points. The PLSS points should
be at the nodes of the lines. The horizontal accuracy of the polygon lines is
derived from the accuracy of the points at the nodes

- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation
- Logical Consistency Report The spatial features in this feature class were derived from the PLSSIntersected
feature class. The topology rules for this feature class are re-checked after the
dissolve process. The polygon edges in this feature class overlay the polygon lines in
the PLSSIntersected feature class.
- Completeness Report This feature class represents all available geographic coordinate database (GCDB)
at the time of publication. Every attempt was made to complete the rectangular Public
Land Survey System(PLSS) to at least the First Division (section) level and to capture
the outside boundary of non-rectangular PLSS features. Gaps or holes in the data that
are know areas of conflict are presented in the ConflictedAreas feature class. If there
are other gaps it is where data has not been automated, was not available from the data
steward or was not of sufficient quality to be included.
- Lineage
-
- Process Step
-
- Process Description This feature class is built from the PLSSIntersected feature through a
series of SQL selects, dissolves and geoprocessing. The selection uses only the
current PLS data so any polygon labeled with a survey note of R (replaced) will
not be used in building derived feature classes. Polygons are combined based on
the attributes and rules of combination.

Entity and Attribute Information
- Detailed Description
-
- Entity Type
-
- Entity Type LabelPLSSReferenceGrid_1
- Entity Type Definition The PLSS Reference Grid is a generalized data set providing the Township
and First Divisions of the PLSS as a separate feature class to support data
requests, mapping and indexing. The spatial location and position and attributes
of this feature class are the same as those in the primary data sets from which
this data is built. These data are often used for map sheet layouts and general
location reference
