Some Notes on the Public Land Survey System (PLSS)

A substantial number of published references to fossil sites give locations using the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) coordinates or Section, Township, Range, (Basepoint). In Canada, a similar system is used called the Dominion Land Survey (DLS).

There are several problems with PLSS/DLS locations.
