Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This polygon shapefile depicts the townships, ranges and sections contained in the Public Land Survey System grid for the State of California. Townships are roughly six miles square, and are numbered north and south from an established baseline. Likewise, ranges are numbered east and west from an established meridian.
Purpose: This layer can be of help in defining position and scale on small-scale plots and locating other features by means of township/range/section identifiers.

Supplemental information	California uses three baseline/meridians, these being Humboldt, Mt. Diablo, and San Bernardino, abbreviated HB&M, MDB&M, and SBB&M. Township and range values are combined in the redefined item TOWN-RANGE to facilitate dissolve and dropline functions. Many places in the State are not gridded into sections. Most of these cases involve Spanish and Mexican landgrant areas that were honored by the government of the United States when California became a State, and were subsequently excluded from the section survey process. Names of landgrants may be found under the item LANDGRANT. Other areas were not sectioned because of difficulties in surveying wetlands and mountainous terrain. These areas are identified in the item COMMENTS as 'wetlands' or 'not sectioned'.
