Description: These are the corners of the PLSS. This data set contains summary information about the coordinate location and reliability of corner coordinate information. The information in the corner feature has been collected by the identified data steward. For more information about corner locations, credits and use limitations the identified data steward in the corner feature should be contacted.

Description: 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.
Description: In the Public Land Survey System a Township refers to a unit of land, that is nominally six miles on a side, usually containing 36 sections.
Description: The second division of the PLSS is quarter, quarter-quarter, sixteenth or government lot division of the PLSS. 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.

Description: PLSS Special Surveys are non-rectangular PLSS survey. 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.

Description: The conflicted areas feature class is a depiction of known overlaps or gaps resulting from two or more different surveys of the same area. It may also contain areas with discrepancies in area, identification, or survey condition. The reason for the conflict should be noted in the description. This feature class may also include an indication of canceled or suspended surveys.
Description: This is a graphic representation of the data stewards based on PLSS Townships in PLSS areas. In non-PLSS areas the metadata at a glance is based on a data steward defined polygons such as a city or county or other units. The identification of the data steward is a general indication of the agency that will be responsible for updates and providing the authoritative data sources. In other implementations this may have been termed the alternate source, meaning alternate to the BLM. But in the shared environment of the NSDI the data steward for an area is the primary coordinator or agency responsible for making updates or causing updates to be made. The data stewardship polygons are defined and provided by the data steward.
