However, it is only valid for data downloaded from the LR2000 database May 26, 2005, since the database is dynamic and new information may have been added after that date, or older information corrected.Causey, J.D.2006wa_pls_04vector digital datahttp://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/228Frank.

SpokaneWA99201USA509.368.3116509.368.3199dcausey@usgs.govA field, MTRS, was added to the PLS database by concatenating meridian, township, range, and section information into one 18-character string. The string is in the format MM TTTTT RRRRR SSS where MM is a 2-digit number, TTTTT is township, RRRRR is range, and SSS is section for any valid Public Land Survey values. Township and range are 5 characters of the form XXXYZ where X is a numeric, Y is 0 or 2, and Z is N or S for township and E or W for range. A Y value of 2 means that the township or range are fractional township or ranges, otherwise the value is 0. Section is a 3-digit numeric. Some polygons with coding not consistent with MTRS, were recoded. Split polygons were disolved. Then all fields except MTRS were deleted. All datasets were then projected to Geographic coordinate system, NAD27 datum. The spatial database was attached to a list of unique MTRS values from the LR2000 database and all polygons that had a record in the LR2000 database were selected. This selection was saved as the present shapefile.ArcGIS v 9.02005Washington Department of Natural Resources 20021vector digital dataNoneNoneOn-line publicationWashington Department of Natural ResourcesMetadata file "Washington PLS metadata.htm" and a shapefile cadastre_thenrit19375519.zip, acquired 11,178 KB, 1/28/2004, 2:32 PM.http://www3.wadnr.gov/dnrapp6/dataweb/dmmatrix.html24000online2002publication datePublic Land Survey Section polygonsNot stated in source.Not stated in source.Not stated in source.The data is meant to comply with the National Map Accuracy Standard for 1:24,000 scale, which is that 90% of all GIS positions will be with 40 feet of the true position.
