Much of California's land was already in private ownership when the Federal Public Land Survey was done in the late 1800's.  Private lands were not included in the survey.  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.

Displays townships, and sections.  Calculates area, centroid, and corner points.  You must zoom into the State of California to see the data.  The data shows the township and range systems.  It does not show individual properties or parcels.

Hint

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.
