Surveys begin at an initial point and then the townships are surveyed from that point.
The PLSS actually consists of a series of separate surveys. Sections can be further subdivided in various divisions such as into quarter sections or quarter-quarter sections. Townships are further subdivided into one mile squares called Sections. The PLSS typically divides land into six mile squares called Townships. It is a way of subdividing and describing land. Oklahoma, just like most lands west of the Mississippi, was surveyed using the Public Land Survey System or PLSS for short.
Throughout the history of the United States there have been various ways of surveying public land. One of the very first questions that a mineral owner will be asked if he wants to sell his Oklahoma mineral rights or oil and gas royalties is the legal description of where the mineral rights are located.
