PLSS map

This Map is an example of a PLSS (Public Land Survey System). What a PLSS does is aids people in viewing the subdivision of land in states, countries, counties, cities, towns, etc. The PLSS began when citizens began purchasing land for private use. In response the federal government needed to divide public land usage, and in order to do this the PLSS was created. This PLSS map above surveys the Kitsap county area of Washington state. The map seperates public and private land entities, and then subdivides public areas.
