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.

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. -

Research in the Land Entry Files of the General Land Office
Research in the Land Entry Files of the General Land Office REFERENCE INFORMAT ION PA PER 1 1 4 Above: Since 1785 Federal land surveyors used the township as the major subdivision of the public domain under the rectangular sys tem of surveys. Townships are approximately 6 miles on each side and contain 36 sections of 640 acres apiece, numbered in the sequence above. Sections are further subdivided into half, quarter, and lesser sections, called aliquot parts. A township is identified by its relation to a base line and principal meridian, e.g., township 7 south, range 26 west, Sixth Principal Meridian (6th PM).
