This feature class is part of the Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) CadNSDI publication data set for rectangular and non-rectangular Public Land Survey System (PLSS) data set. This feature class contains the Public Land Survey System Townships that are the primary unit of survey for the PLSS, nominally six miles on a side, usually containing 36 sections. PLSS Townships are numbered from base lines and principal meridians. This feature class provides the polygons for the PLSS Townships. These polygons are built from the PLSS Fully Intersected feature class by dissolving on the PLSSID in the PLSSIntersected feature class.
