PLSS or Public Land Survey System is used across the United States for the purpose of subdividing land. Used by the Federal government to divide up public lands by a rectangular system. By townships they are subdivided mostly by 6 mile sections. Now most of the PLSS is privated owned land because of the selling of land by the Federal government many years ago.
