The Control Point Generated PLS layer contains line and polygon features to the 1/4 of 1/4 PLS section (approximately 40 acres) and government lot level. The layer was created using the most accurate information available at the time, including Government Land Office plat drawings and survey notes, official resurveys, and PLS control points from the DNR?s Control Point Inventory database.
Detailed PLS forty level mapping at a 1:24,000 scale of any information georeferenced to the Public Land Survey System, especially land ownership and management. It can also be used as a general PLS reference map for any other data projected into UTM - meters, extended zone 15, NAD83.

All available Government Land Office Land Survey notes, plats and resurvey information was used in the creation of this data set. Since the meander line data is being derived from the Government Land Office PLS survey notes, margins around meandered water bodies tend to have a coarse representation and may not accurately reflect the current shape of these features on the ground. Meander lines are NOT land ownership boundaries. The Public Land Survey process was conducted, in part, to inventory the rough acreage of land for the purposes of selling it for agriculture, timber, railroads, etc. Meander lines were used to determine how many acres of land were available for sale at the time, whereas the beds of navigable water bodies are held in ownership by the state. Depending upon when the survey was conducted, surveyors followed different guidelines for what was to be meandered. 'In subdividing any one township, you are to meander as hereinafter directed, any lake or lakes, pond or ponds, lying entirely within the boundaries thereof, of the area of [twenty five to] forty acres and upwards, and which cannot be drained and are not likely to fill up, or from any cause to become dry.' (A Collection of Original Instructions to Surveyors of the Public Lands, 1815 - 1881, Roy Minnick, Landmark Enterprises)
Source table PLS_FORTYPY3.PAT: Polygon attribute information is independently verified several times throughout the process of creating this data from the Control Point Inventory (CPI) database..
Source layer pls40ne3: Variable. At its least accurate, the data is based upon points derived from manual digitizing of PLS section corners from 1:24,000 scale paper media (GISMO and SECTIC-24K points). At its most accurate, the data is based upon points collected using GPS units operating at a sub-meter level of accuracy. Refer to the ACCURACY and METHOD fields in the related PLS Control Point layer (cornrpt3), for specific information.

Attribute Lineage for source table PLS_FORTYPY3.PAT: PLS attribute information is added to this data-set after the area features have been built for each township.
