- Title
- SECTIC-24K, PLSS Database [Minnesota]
- Description
- SECTIC-24K is a digital file of the Public Land Survey (PLS) section corners of Minnesota as recorded on the U.S. Geological Survey's 1:24,000 7.5-minute quadrangle maps (map dates ranging from the late 1940s - 1970s). The database attempts to best fit the section corner locations shown on the published 1:24,000 maps, even though better real-world data for the location of the section corner might be available elsewhere. The SECTIC-24K data set also includes a program which has the following utilities: Utility A: Section corner extraction from the SECTIC-24K database by county, 1:24,000-scale quad, or township. Utility B: Conversion among PLS, UTM, or LAT/LONG coordinates, either interactively or by file conversion. It also allows NAD27 - NAD83 conversions. Utility C: Creation of a dBASE output file from SECTIC-24K. This program does not run on Windows 7 - 64 bit computers (it does run on Windows - 32 bit). There is also a web service that generates much the same info as the SECTIC program. The main differences are it may not do NAD27/NAD83 shifts and it does not have a batch mode. A batch mode could be created using the web service and the scripting code of your choice. Find the web service at: https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/loc-pls-api-service , This database was developed to provide section corner locations for mapping applications which use the U.S. Geological Survey's 1:24,000 7.5-minute quadrangle as a base map., Section corner locations were recorded from the most recent edition of the U.S. Geological Survey's 1:24,000 7.5-minute quadrangle maps that were available at the time the dataset was last revised in the mid-1990s. Map dates ranged from the late 1940s to the late 1970s.
