The description of the location of land in the United States using a survey system established by the federal government in 1785. The system is based on the concept of a township, a square parcel of land measuring 6 miles on each side. The township's position is described as a number of 6-mile units east of a northsouth line (called the meridian) and north or south of an eastwest line (called the baseline). Each township is divided into 36 sections, each of which is 1 square mile. A section is divided into quarters equal to 160 acres. The quarter section may be further divided into four 40-acre parcels. The PLSS is also called the rectangular survey.<\/span>", "extent":[[2320400.4496262935,2326256.590232223],[1379316.476002284,1384896.637568164]], "url":"https://gis1.idl.idaho.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Public_Land_Survey_System/MapServer" }
