 Public Land Survey System (PLSS) - Nationwide 1:24,000 & 1:100,000 Land Grid

The Public Land Survey System (Land Grid) is described in terms of Section, Township, and Range, and is the standard way of describing land for the 29 states outside of Texas and the 13 original colonies. The US elected to give away pieces of land as a way to compensate soldiers after the Revolutionary War. The PLSS was developed as a standard, consistent framework in which to organize and subdivide these properties. Numbering of sections went from east to west and then alternating to west to east in the next row. This system of notation is know as boustrophedonic (Grk.), meaning "turning like oxen in plowing". The PLSS is commonly used to describe real property such as well locations, pipelines, and lease and parcel property lines. Many One-Call/911 Systems and emergency management organizations also utilize the PLSS in their work. PGC has Nationwide 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 Scale datasets available.  Data is attributed with Section Numbers, Township and Range Numbers, Township and Range Directions, and Meridian. PGC also can provide Federal Lots/Tracts and Sub-Survey data if your work requires more detail. Additionally, PGC has available the Canadian Land Grid the Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

 Texas Land Survey System (TLSS)

If you do any land work in Texas, you know that the survey system here is far from the straightforward Public Land Survey System described above. Texas has been under the control of several governments in its history, and each government used its own unique way of partitioning land. As a result, the Texas Land Survey system is composed of Abstracts, several types of Surveys, Blocks and Subdivisions. This 1:24,000 Scale data set is an essential layer for mapping projects in Texas.

PGC provides 24K Scale Quarter-Quarter Section Aliquot Grid and Federal Lots and Tracts. 

The Aliquots/Lots/Tracts/Subsurvey Data is a necessity when mapping land and leases and is also extremely useful as a prospecting tool.  When used with our Federal BLM and State Lands Lease Data layer, it allows customers the ability to identify and pinpoint aliquot/lot/tract legal descriptions of parcels that are not currently leased on federal and state lands.  The data is also useful in helping locate parcels residing on fee lands.

 National Elevation Data (NED/DEM) and Surface Contours

The USGS has recently completed its upgrade from the old and outdated Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to the new National Elevation Data set. NED is designed to provide elevation data in a seamless form with a consistent datum, elevation unit, and projection. Most problems that existed in the DEM data, such as edge-matching issues, have gone away. NED is simply a grid of elevation points that are either 30 meters or 10 meters apart. With this data, a user has the ability to do detailed analysis of any terrain in the US. Unlike hypsography (contour lines), this data allows the user to create provides the user freedom to created his/her own contour interval, hillshades, line of sight profiles, and viewsheds. This data can be delivered in a variety of formats to suite your software's needs.

 Gulf of Mexico Data

One of the many responsibilities of The Mineral Management Service (MMS) is to manage petroleum resources in the Gulf of Mexico. As a product of this obligation, the MMS provides us with an updated set of data for offshore Gulf of Mexico areas. This data includes offshore blocks, lease boundaries, shipping lanes, oil/gas platforms, and well information.

Custom Digital Data Sets

If you need something you don’t see, PGC can produce custom datasets for your specific requirements. Examples include enhancing, organizing, and converting public domain data and/or proprietary data; building land parcels; developing digital oil/gas lease polygons, converting hardcopy maps to digital data, etc.

 Surface Geologic Data

PGC provides nationwide coverage of Geologic Map Data.  Geologic map data is comprised of a combination of lines, symbols, and colors to show the composition and structure of earth materials and their distribution across and beneath the Earth's surface. This kind of general geologic information is used to find natural resources such as water, minerals, oil, and gas; evaluate potential hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, and volcanic eruptions.

Additionally, PGC offers customized statewide Geologic Maps for Petra software users. Petra users are delivered a layer (.lay) file customized to match the color scheme that is portrayed on the USGS Geologic Maps. In addition to customized color themes, text codes for specific geologic formations are pre-labeled on the maps. These statewide geologic databases serve as an excellent regional resource for your projects. The source for our statewide Geologic Databases is typically the 1:250,000 and 1:500,000 scales USGS Geologic Data, but if you need a higher accuracy geologic database for specific areas of interest, we can do custom digitizing.
