PLSSPOINT: PLSS Point data created by the Bureau of Land Management for the states of Oregon and Washington. This feature class is part of the Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) CADNSDI publication data set for rectangular and non-rectangular Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data set. The metadata description in the Cadastral Reference System Feature Data Set more fully describes the entire data set (http://www.nationalcad.org/). These are the corners of the PLSS. This feature class contains summary information about the coordinate location and reliability of corner coordinate information. alternate names or aliases for corners are also included in this feature class.
This data provides the essential observed coordinate information for plss corners. This is not the complete data set for corners. These are the most current coordinates and a summary of information about the accuracy and quality of the coordinate values. Contact the identified data steward for more information.

This feature class data set is topologically structured with nodes being constructed from the PLSS Points and hence points being coincident with nodes at all intersections.
This feature class data set is topologically structured with nodes being constructed from the PLSS Points and hence points being coincident with nodes at all intersections.
This feature class represents all available geographic coordinate database (GCDB) at the time of publication. Every attempt was made to complete the rectangular Public Land Survey System(PLSS) to at least the First Division (section) level and to capture the outside boundary of non-rectangular PLSS features. Gaps or holes in the data that are know areas of conflict are presented in the ConflictedAreas feature class. If there are other gaps it is where data has not been automated, was not available from the data steward or was not of sufficient quality to be included.

For points with a BLM Cadastral as the data steward this feature class is built geographic coordinate database (GCDB) point files. All PLSS Points are at the nodes of line intersections and have a unique identifier as well as any applicable alias that represents the point identifier in adjoining townships or adjoining features. For points with county or state data stewards the PLSS corners are imported from geodatabase files provided by the data steward.

PLSSPoint
These points represent the corners of the PLSS. This feature class contains summary information about the coordinate location and reliability of corner coordinate information. alternate names or aliases for corners are also inlcuded in this feature class.
Feature Class

BLM
The PLSSpoint feature class is intended to represent the corner positions of the PLSS. The points have been generated using measured information when available. That measured information was used in conjunction with control points (points with highly reliable coordinate information) to create an adjusted network for the PLSS. The adjustment was accomplished by using either a least square analysis or compass rule adjustment depending upon the vintage of the data. From that intial data set, additional PLSS points were calculated using PLSS subdivision methods to fill in the PLSS grid most generally to the 16th or quarter quarter section level.
Attributes are provided that give basic information about source, type, and accuracy of the line data. More information may be found in the data standard if available: https://www.blm.gov/about/data/oregon-data-management
