A Public Land Survey System map is a map that shows the subdivision and description of land in the United States after the Revolutionary War in the western part of present day United States of America. All lands in the public domain are altered to fit within this rectangular system of surveys. The Public Land Survey System is a rectangular survey system that divides the land into 6-mile square townships which are further subdivided into 1-mile square sections. This system graphs land so that you can find land easily when each section has their own unique identification. The Public Land Survey System map used above shows the rectangular system in action representing Franklin County in Alabama.
