PLSS Map

PLSS Map is an online viewer for exploring the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), offering a lightweight, free way to view the survey grid alongside your GPS position. Users can look up their location and, as they zoom in, see ranges, townships, and sections. The site is designed for straightforward access, with no signup required to use the map viewer.

Its survey tools let users draw and name surveys, view area and perimeter measurements, and save surveys to an account. Drawing options include adding lines, setting a point of beginning, entering lengths and quadrant bearings, and enabling snapping. The service also provides guidance on drawing surveys and exporting shapefiles, helping users understand the tool’s capabilities and limitations. Account features include saved-survey management, password reset, and subscription controls.

PLSS Map provides help pages and a contact email for assistance. Its privacy policy and terms of service explain the conditions for using the site.
