This is based upon the use of the 1:100K originals and certain assumptions about the "regular" structure of the PLSS. As an aside, one of the oil companies some years ago extended what they called "psuedo-Jeffersonian" coordinates to selected areas of interest outside of the traditional PLSS area. So some data for portions of the Applachians exists in "PLSS" coordinates! -- Dr. Duane F.
