- Description

- Abstract The New Mexico Land Index is intended primarily to provide a standardized
spatial index for land grant areas in the State of New Mexico and, to a lesser
extent, to similarly provide a spatial index to other lands in New Mexico for which
Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB) data have not been published yet and for which
alternate source GCDB data are not available. The design and implementation of the
New Mexico Land Index ensures that it is compatible with the Cadastral NSDI (CADNSDI) Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data
set.
- Purpose The feature classes are intended to facilitate geocoding
operations and other spatial analyses within a framework consistent with the
PLSS.
- Supplemental Information The data set consists of two feature classes, Index_PLSSFirstDivision and Index_PLSSSecondDivision. The first provides a section-level
index grid and the second provides a nominal subdivision or second division index grid. The feature classes are intended to
facilitate geocoding operations and other spatial analyses within a framework consistent with the PLSS.

- Process Description Per the BLM Manual of Surveying Instructions 2009, BHI attempted to recreate the index townships, first and second divisions
as close to the original instruction intent as possible. Because of existing irregularities in the PLSS subdivided areas,
some basic assumptions were made to facilitate the indexing. Township lines were protracted across the blank grant spaces
and the township numbering scheme was interpolated across these areas as well. No half or quarter townships were created
in this process. In some instances, the township lines were squared off to more closely represent a cardinal N-S or E-W line
rather than create a skewed parallelogram. Once the townships were created, the sections were protracted within each township.
Holding the southeast corner and starting at section 36, the sections were protracted along the east-most tier to section
1, and then resuming at the south of the township at section 35 along the second east-most tier until all 36 sections were
created. This process follows the 2009 manual and places the excess or deficiency in the north-most and west-most tiers of
sections. Because the townships in many cases were irregular, excess or deficiency also was placed in the south and east
tiers. Because this is an index layer, no attempt was made to ensure that these protractions were within the stated 2009
limits. The interior section lines were held at cardinal N-S and E-W directions.
Lastly, the second division was created for each section following BLM Instructions by connecting and intersecting the mid
points to create the final second division lines.
Once all the township,and first and second divisions were created, the protracted areas were clipped to the existing land
grant lines and labeled as index divisions.
