This polygon dataset is a compilation of all the quarter sections in Snohomish County derived from the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid dataset. The PLSS grid is the master coverage of the PLSS maintained by the Assessor's Office. It contains linework and attribute information for townships, ranges, sections, quarter sections and quarter quarter sections. It is compiled from recorded surveys and plats, coordinates and linework supplied by private surveyors, Snohomish County Public Works Survey, cities, Washington State Department Of Natural Resources (DNR) and the United States Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Standard BLM methods are used to construct the aliquot grid. In coastal areas, the aliquot grid may not apply for many of the coastal sections, it has been constructed for the purposes of land title and defining map extents for automated routines. |
