This PLSS map focuses on Scott County in Minnesota. The PLSS is a system used in the U.S. and covers most states except Texas and the 13 colonies. The system uses rectangles and is based off of an old Roman system of land division. A township--one 6 square mile rectangle-- is divided into 36 one-square mile sections, and these sections can be divided into even smaller portions. Usually there are markers at each township corner. This particular PLSS has been advanced on its original page and viewers can click on sections and see PDF files of the original PLSS notations.
