Description: In the Public Land Survey System a Township refers to a unit of land, that is nominally six miles on a side, usually containing 36 sections. Data digitized from USGS 7.5 minute topo maps (paper) dated between 1960 and 1989. Data contains survey district, section, township, range number attributes , and annotation. Data was merged to form the statewide file in 2005 and corrected using new USGS DRGS dated through 2004. Further corrections were made by MS Department of Transportation staff 2007/2008. Note: Attribute miscodings were found by Pete Kohn of the MS Development Authority and James Smith of the USDA/FSA - MS Office. Those corrections were made and incorporated into this version of the data set. Corrections to sections along the MS River in Washington and Issaquena Counties were made by MARIS staff in April 2010. These miscodes were found by Michael-Baker Engineering and Waggoner Engineering. **** In 2014 - PLSS data extracted from Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl River, and Stone Counties in 2009 was substituted by the FGDC Cadastral Subcommittee to create a single data set with the state and county sourced data. Also in 2014, the Principal Meridian codes and other standardizations , such as type codes and descriptions, were completed on the entire data set to form a single seamless PLSS data set. Note that in MS, the Principal Merisian areas are sometimes called survey districts.
