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.
