The Ohio Surveys
Report on Ohio Survey Investigation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Report on the Investigation of the FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standard and its Applicability in Support of the Ohio Survey Systems Nancy von Meyer Fairview Industries, Inc For The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) National Integrated Land System (NILS) Project Office January 2005 i Report on Ohio Survey Investigation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preface Ohio was the testing and proving grounds of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). As a result Ohio contains many varied land descriptions and survey systems. Further complicating the Ohio land description scene are large federal tracts reserved for military use and lands held by other states prior to Ohio statehood. This document is not a history of the land system development for Ohio.

In the civil law system, there is a division between movable and immovable property. Movable property roughly corresponds to personal property, while immovable property corresponds to real estate or real property, and the associated rights and obligations thereon. The concept, idea or philosophy of property underlies all property law. In some jurisdictions, historically all property was owned by the monarch and it devolved through feudal land tenure or other feudal systems of loyalty and fealty. -
Cadastral NSDI Reference Document – July 2006
Cadastral NSDI Reference Document – July 2006 Cadastral NSDI Reference Document July 2006 Purpose This document describes the Cadastral NSDI, its components and the public and private business processes that define the content. The Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (Cadastral NSDI) has been defined by the FGDC Cadastral Subcommittee as a minimum set of attributes about land parcels that is used for publication and distribution of cadastral information by cadastral data producers for use by applications and business processes. The standards for the data content of the Cadastral NSDI are derived from the Cadastral Data Content Standard1, which is a standard for all cadastral elements and extends beyond the minimum elements in the Cadastral NSDI. This standard and many other documents related to the Cadastral NSDI and the Cadastral Subcommittee can be found at http://www.nationalcad.org. Business Applications The goal of the FGDC Cadastral Data Subcommittee is to provide a uniform coverage of parcel data that provides a multi-jurisdictional view or private, state and federal lands, their ownership, use, structures and the value of private property. Figure 1 shows an example of the characteristics of a single parcel and the type of information that would be available for entire region. GIS analysis of a regional coverage allows users to identify the location of properties with specific characteristics within a region. A recent study of the utility of parcel data by emergency responders after a hurricane found that local parcel information was uniquely capable of answering questions that ranged from the identification of vacant lands that could be used for debris removal to the location of organic farms to avoid spraying them with insecticides. -

Using the Township/Public Lands Survey System to Re-District
Subject: Using the township/public lands survey system to re-district--- reference info from Wikipedia Date: Monday, May 9, 2011 1:49 PM From: Tom Dorich To: <[email protected]> Conversation: Using the township/public lands survey system to re-district---reference info from Wikipedia Greetings: I've previously sent in a suggestion that the old rectangular township system be used as a gerrymander-resistant method of redictricting. Here's some reference info on it. (I'm not sure if the graphics from the original made it through the cut-and-paste process..... Public Land Survey SystemFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search [edit] Non-PLSS regionsThe system is in use in some capacity in most states, but not in Hawaii and Texas or any of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Thirteen Colonies at the time of independence, with the exception of the area that became the Northwest Territory and some of the Southern states. These exclusions are now Georgia, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Major exceptions to the application of this system in the remaining states: California, before statehood in 1850, surveyed only the boundaries of Spanish land grants (ranchos); since statehood the PLSS system has been used mostly throughout. Hawaii adopted a system based on the Kingdom of Hawaii native system in place at the time of annexation. Louisiana recognizes early French and Spanish descriptions called arpents, particularly in the southern part of the state, as well as PLSS descriptions. -
Geographical Positions of Base Lines and Principal Meridians Governing the Public Surveys”
40 THE JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY January intervals, proving in many cases extremely destructive, those especially noted being in 1713, 1738, 174R, 1793, 1819, 1837, and the latest in 1898, the details of which are well remembered in its destructive effects in Porto Rico, as well as in the adjacent islands. GEOGRAPHICAL POSITIONS OF BASE LINES AND PRINCIPAL MERIDIANS GOVERNING THE PUBLIC SURVEYS” BY WILLIAM G. RAYMOND. HE system of rectangular surveying, authorized by law May 20, 1785, was first employed in the survey of United T States public lands in the state of Ohio. The boundary line between the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, known as “Elliott’s line,” in longitude 80” 32‘ 20” west from Green- wich, is the meridian to which the first surveys are referred. The townships east of the Scioto River, in the state of Ohio, are numbered from south to north, commencing with No. 1 on the Ohio River, while the ranges are numbered from east to west, beginning with No. 1 on the east boundary of the state, except in the tract designated “U. S. military land,” in which the townships and ranges are numbered, respectively, from the south and east boundaries of said tract. During the period of one hundred and nine years since the organ- ization of the system df rectangular surveying, numbered and locally named principal meridians and base lines have been established, w follows : The fird principal meridian begins at the junction of the Ohio and Big Miami rivers, extends north on the boundary line between the states of Ohio and Indiana, and roughly approximates to the meridian of longitude 84” 48‘ 50” west from Greenwich. -

PLSS Cadnsdi Standard Domains of Values October 2014 - Updated May 2015
PLSS CadNSDI Standard Domains of Values October 2014 - Updated May 2015 Introduction The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (CadNSDI) publication data set standards were finalized as Version 2 in October of 2012. A zipped file containing the database documentation and schema is posted in the Cadastral Subcommittee’s outreach page (http://www.nationalcad.org) In Version 2 of the standard the domains of values were listed as recommended or suggested. Since October of 2012 the PLSS data for 20 of the 30 Public Domain states have been reviewed and standardized. Through that process the domains of values have been more clearly articulated and defined. The Subcommittee felt that a complete review of PLSS data was necessary before the domain of values could be finalized and this milestone has been reached. This document provides the standardized domain of values for the elements with a standardized domain in PLSS CadNSDI data sets. Most of the domains include a code and description. As database and GIS technology advances there is less reliance on coded values and increased ability to use the text or description of an attribute. The codes and descriptions have been finalized and standardized, but the Subcommittee acknowledges that some implementations may choose to use only the description and not the associated code. In some cases the code is used as part of a concatenated unique identification key and users that chose to not capture the standard code along with the standard description will need to use the standard code to generate concatenated keys. Please note that because of the high degree of variability in the PLSS, not all codes and domains apply to all states. -
