Township and Range - California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

Much of California was already in private onwership when the Federal Public Land Survey was done in the late 1800's.  As a result, there are large gaps in the official PLSS data.  The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has "filled the gaps" for their purposes of locating pesticide use and water wells.  Not for survey use.

In mountainous areas it might be helpful to turn off the terrain layer in Google Earth.  Otherwise, the survey grid can look distorted as it shapes itself to the earth's surface.
