PLSS

http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/22293/
Above is a PLSS (Public Land Survey System) map of Commerce Township, Michigan, where my Father-in-Law currently resides. The PLSS is a system brought about by the Land Ordinance of 1785, and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, that divides public lands in the U.S. into 6 square mile tracts called townships.
