Summary The Land Survey Information System or LSIS is the official government Web site for the distribution of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) of the United States. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cadastral survey program is responsible for the official boundary surveys for all federal agencies in the U.S. that together manage over 700 million acres. The Public Land ... Survey System also called the Rectangular Survey System is the foundation for many survey-based land information systems.
The PLSS data shown in the image to the right is computed from BLM survey records (official plats and field notes), local survey records, and geodetic control information. Please refer to the metadata for detailed information about the survey data. The LSIS data is a useful representation of the geometry and topology of parcels contained within the PLSS.
