The 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. For more information contact us at blm_id_stateoffice@blm.gov.

PLSS Special Surveys are non-rectangular PLSS survey within the BLM Administrative State of Wyoming. These features are not populated for the many eastern states data sets because at the time of the PLSS Surveys in the eastern states, the federal survey types had not been established. However, for purposes of transition in some of the eastern states PLSS the non-plss data are in the plss special surveys, this will update over time.

The PLSS First Division is commonly the section. This is the first set of divisions for a PLSS Township within the BLM Administrative State of Wyoming. These are not the official representations of the lines marked by the survey, please contact Wyoming Cadastral Survey.

BLM NV PLSS Intersected: This dataset represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System including both rectangular and non-rectangular surveys. The primary source for the data is cadastral survey records housed by the BLM supplemented with local records and geographic control coordinates from states, counties as well as other federal agencies such as the USGS and USFS. The data has been converted from source documents to digital form and transferred into a GIS format that is compliant with FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standards and Guidelines for publication. This data is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific "production" or operation and maintenance. This data set includes the following: PLSS Fully Intersected (all of the PLSS feature at the atomic or smallest polygon level), 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 and Conflicted Areas (known areas of gaps or overlaps between Townships or state boundaries). The Entity-Attribute section of this metadata describes these components in greater detail.

The Entity-‐ Attribute section of this metadata describes these components in greater detail. The CadNSDI or the Cadastral Publication Data Standard is the cadastral data component of the NSDI. This is the publication guideline for cadastral data that is intended to provide a common format and structure and content for cadastral information that can be made available across jurisdictional boundaries, providing a consistent and uniform cadastral data to meet business need that includes connections to the source information from the data stewards. The data stewards determine which data are published and should be contacted for any questions on data content or for additional information. The cadastral publication data is data provided by cadastral data producers in a standard form on a regular basis. Cadastral publication data has two primary components, land parcel data and cadastral reference data. It is important to recognize that the publication data are not the same as the operation and maintenance or production data. The production data is structured to optimize maintenance processes, is integrated with internal agency operations and contains much more detail than the publication data. The publication data is a subset of the more complete production data and is reformatted to meet a national standard so data can be integrated across jurisdictional boundaries and be presented in a consistent and standard form nationally.

The second division of the PLSS is quarter, quarter-quarter, sixteenth or government lot division of the PLSS within the BLM Administrative State of Wyoming. The second and third divisions are combined into this feature class as an intentional de-normalization of the PLSS hierarchical data. The polygons in this feature class represent the smallest division that has been defined for the first division. In most cases the smallest division for the cadastral reference will be the sixteenth but in some cases sections have only been divided to the quarter. Divisions below the sixteenth may be included in this feature class, but in most implementations these smaller divisions will be parcels. These are not the official representations of the lines marked by the survey, please contact Wyoming Cadastral Survey.

These are areas of water that are defined from meander lines of the PLSS and GLO surveys within the BLM Administrative State of Wyoming. 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
