Indiana has three to four sets of "original" PLSS notes and plats. The field survey set, which the field surveyor originally wrote, is preserved at the Indiana State Archive for approximately 30% of the counties in Indiana. The federal set, which the GLO transcribed, is preserved at the National Archive. The state set, which the GLO transcribed, is preserved at the Indiana State Archive The county sets, transcribed later from the state set by the state auditor, are available from each county surveyor. The file name indicates the source and geographical location within the PLSS. O for the Original set F for the Federal set S for the State set C** for the County set PM0* for the 1st or 2nd Principal Meridian T**N or T**S for the Township (North &amp; South) R**E or R**W for the Range (East &amp; West) This project was made possible by Clayton J. Hogston, who donated over 11,000 hours to create the linked documents. Other contributors include Clayton J. Hogston - Sphere Surveying Co., Lorraine Wright - Rock Solid GIS, Rachel Savich Oser - Oser Surveying &amp; Mapping LLC, and county surveyors with support from the Indiana State Archives, chapters of the Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors (ISPLS), the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC), the Indiana Professional Land Surveyors Foundation (IPLSF), and others. Detailed metadata regarding the location of the physical documents within the holding institutions is available on our Internet Archive pages, where the digitized records can also be viewed or downloaded in bulk.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/ec2224baffa44be5b238c73630565f63_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>IndianaMap</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Historical Indiana PLSS Township Records [Indiana]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Indiana</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2023-01-09</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
