The CADNSDI or the Cadastral Publication Data Standard is the cadastral data component of the NSDI. This is the publication guideline for cadastral data that is intended to provide a common format and structure and content for cadastral information that can be made available across jurisdictional boundaries, providing a consistent and uniform cadastral data to meet business need that includes connections to the source information from the data stewards. The data stewards determine which data are published and should be contacted for any questions on data content or for additional information. The cadastral publication data is data provided by cadastral data producers in a standard form on a regular basis. Cadastral publication data has two primary components, land parcel data and cadastral reference data. It is important to recognize that the publication data are not the same as the operation and maintenance or production data. The production data is structured to optimize maintenance processes, is integrated with internal agency operations and contains much more detail than the publication data. The publication data is a subset of the more complete production data and is reformatted to meet a national standard so data can be integrated across jurisdictional boundaries and be presented in a consistent and standard form nationally.
The second division of the PLSS is quarter, quarter-quarter, sixteenth or government lot division of the PLSS. The second and third divisions are combined into this feature class as an intentional de-normalization of the PLSS hierarchical data. The polygons in this feature class represent the smallest division that has been defined for the first division. In most cases the smallest division for the cadastral reference will be the sixteenth but in some cases sections have only been divided to the quarter. Divisions below the sixteenth may be included in this feature class, but in most implementations these smaller divisions will be parcels.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>PLSSQuarterQuarterSections_GCDB is the fourth level of a hierarchical break down of the Public Land Survey System Rectangular surveys. This data is Version 2.3 2020 of the Utah PLSS Fabric. This data set represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System. Updates are expected annually as horizontal control positions from published sources and global positioning system (GPS) observations are added. The primary source for the data is cadastral survey records housed by the BLM supplemented with local records and geographic control coordinates from states, counties as well as other federal agencies such as the USGS and USFS.

These are labeled as SECDIVTYP = Z and SECDIVTXT = Unsurveyed Unprotracted. They were added using information from points collected by county surveyors, that is in the data and extrapolating information from adjoining sections wherever possible. They are still areas that could not be interpreted well enough and they were left empty, beyond the section level.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
