Abstract

Utah's Approach to a Refined Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Dataset
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Authors: Mike Heagin

Utah's Geographic Coordinate Database(GCDB) portrays the locations of PLSS corners. The GCDB utilizes locally sourced data. Advances in GPS technology necessitated a new way of thinking on utilizing this data in a more timely and efficient manner. ESRI's Parcel Fabric presented a solution but would have to be modified. Utah joined with other States and Agencies to tackle the issue. Each partner had a unique set of requirements, challenging ESRI to deliver a solution that would work for everyone
