PLSS maps

This Public Land Survey System map shows a site located within Seward Meridian area of Alaska. Each section is labled by meridian, township, and range. Section 33, displayed here, is labled as S017N002W33 - S  for Seward Meridian, N for north, W for west, and 33 is for the section number. It looks as if each section is broken into specific increments of space for example, 10x10 sq miles.
