PLSS Map

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~alfrankl/landrecords.

Public Land Survey System or PLSS is commonly used to subdivide land into plats, which will show individual ownership of land.The PLSS important in the United States when comes to subdividing land in the public domain for individual ownership. The land that is included in the public domain is actually land which is owned by the federal government. The PLSS which I chose to use is of Franklin County, Alabama. As you can see by looking at the PLSS, the land is divided into individual squares, or plats throughout the county. The main objective and focus of a PLSS is to divide up public domain lands for individual ownership.
