SCO PLSS Layer Pilot Project Update

At the recent Wisconsin Land Information Association Annual Conference in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, we presented an update to our PLSS Layer Pilot Project. Launched in 2011, this pilot project was designed to develop and test data integration methods for a comprehensive statewide digital network of more accurate survey data provided by individual counties.

SCO update on PLSS Layer Pilot Project

In 2011 the State Cartographer’s Office (SCO) announced a new pilot project to develop an updated and more accurate Public Land Survey System (PLSS) digital dataset for the state of Wisconsin.  The intent of this project is to develop and test methods to aggregate accurate local data to update the statewide Landnet dataset produced by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in the 1990’s.
