Service Description: <div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p>The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) was developed by the United States to plat, or divide real property for sale or settling. Townships are approximately 36 square miles, and made up of 36 sections, which are approximately one square mile. Townships are 6 sections on each side. Section corners are described in USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles, which the Department of Water, Energy and Environment used to create points in the southeast corner of each section for the State of Nebraska. Other corners were digitized as necessary, such as irregular or state boundary sections. The Department of Water, Energy and Environment generated section polygons based on these section points. Townships were then derived from these section polygon features. Sections are also subdivided into quarter, and quarter-quarter sections, which are generally 160 and 40 acres, respectfully.Sections are numbered boustrophedonically within townships, starting from the northeast corner, then alternating the numbering scheme with each row. Quarter sections are named by intercardinal direction (e.g. NE), and quarter-quarter sections are named by adding a second intercardinal direction (e.g. SWNE). These datasets should be used for general locational information only, and may not accurately depict properly surveyed boundaries.</p></div></div></div>
