PLSS

http://www.kitsapgov.com/gis/maplibrary/
This map of Kitsap County in Washington demonstrates the purpose of PLSS, Public Land Survey system. The system is a gridded land partitioning system used to divide and further divide land, distinguishing them as townships and then further dividing even these plots up as well into 36 quarters or quadrants one square mile in size. The grid makes distinguishing land areas clearer and more structured. You can see on this map how each square is broken down into more squares over the area.
