The CADNSDI or the Cadastral Publication Data Standard is the cadastral data component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). This is the publication guideline for cadastral data that is intended to provide a common format, structure and content for cadastral information that can be made available across jurisdictional boundaries. This ensures the availability of consistent and uniform cadastral data that meets various business needs including connections to the source information from the data stewards. Data stewards are responsible for determining which data are published and should be contacted for any questions regarding data content or for additional information. The cadastral publication data is supplied regularly by cadastral data producers in a standardized format and consists of two main components: land parcel data and cadastral reference data. It is essential to understand that publication data differs from operational, maintenance, or production data. The production data is structured to optimize maintenance processes, integrates with internal agency operations, and contains significantly more detail than publication data. The publication data represents a subset of the more comprehensive production data and is reformatted to align with national standards, allowing integration across jurisdictional boundaries and be presented in a uniform and standardized format nationwide. The data has been converted from source documents into a digital format and structured in compliance with FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standards and Guidelines for publication. This data set is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific “production” or operation and maintenance. The primary source of this data is the Cadastral survey records maintained by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), supplemented by records and geographic control coordinates from other federal agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, USGS 7 ½ minute quadrangles and, where applicable, alternate source data. Occasionally, the complexity of surveys made data collection prohibitively expensive, especially in areas with multiple overlapping mineral surveys. In such instances, the data were often not fully abstracted or were only partially abstracted before being incorporated into the dataset.

This data represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System including both rectangular and non-rectangular survey data. The rectangular survey data are a reference system for land tenure based upon meridian, township/range, section, section subdivision and government lots. The non-rectangular survey data represent surveys that were largely performed to protect and/or convey title on specific parcels of land such as mineral surveys and tracts. The data are largely complete in reference to the rectangular survey data at the level of first division. However, the data varies in terms of granularity of its spatial representation as well as its content below the first division. Therefore, depending upon the data source and steward, accurate subdivision of the rectangular data may not be available below the first division and the non-rectangular minerals surveys may not be present. At times, the complexity of surveys rendered the collection of data cost prohibitive such as in areas characterized by numerous, overlapping mineral surveys. In these situations, the data were often not abstracted or were only partially abstracted and incorporated into the data set. These PLSS data were compiled from a broad spectrum or sources including federal, county, and private survey records such as field notes and plats as well as map sources such as USGS 7 ½ minute quadrangles. The metadata in each data set describes the production methods for the data content. This data is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific "production" or operation and maintenance. A complete PLSS data set includes the following: PLSS Townships, First Divisions and Second Divisions (the hierarchical break down of the PLSS Rectangular surveys) PLSS Special surveys (non-rectangular components of the PLSS) Meandered Water, Corners, Metadata at a Glance (which identified last revised date and data steward) and Conflicted Areas (known areas of gaps or overlaps or inconsistencies). The Entity-Attribute section of this metadata describes these components in greater detail. These are areas of water that are defined from meander lines of the PLSS and GLO surveys. These are not the official representations of coast or water lines and are representations of the lines marked by the survey along the boundaries of meandered water at the time of survey.

This fully intersected data is the atomic level of the PLSS that is similar to the coverage or the smallest pieces used to build the PLSS. Polygons may overlap in this feature class.
