"The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is a way of subdividing and describing land in the United States. The PLSS is used to divide public domain lands, which are lands owned by the Federal government for the benefit of the citizens of the United States." Many towns use this for the 911 grid system. In the map they use meridians to mark east and west limits and then north and south boundaries.
