Public Land Survey System
PLSS
5
PLSS is an antiquated land
reference system that relies on landmarks
as a base…
6
Notice on the Livermore
Quadrangle…red lines…these are the
PLSS reference lines….
7
These lines are in concert with lines of
longitude and latitude…
8
The PLSS word for
longitude is range (R)…which are at the top and
bottom of the map…
9
The PLSS word for
latitude is township (T)
which are along the left
and right sides of a
map
10
So a PLSS grid looks like this…
