The Bureau of Land Management's Cadastral Survey Program is one
of the oldest and most fundamental functions of the United States
Government. Established by the Land Ordinance of 1785, Cadastral
surveys are the foundation of our national land tenure system
creating, reestablishing, marking, and defining land boundaries.
In addition to conducting surveys to meet BLM land management
needs, Wyoming Cadastral Survey completes surveys for all federal
agencies and Indian Tribes in Wyoming and Nebraska.
BLM's Cadastral Survey maintains the essential land grid known
as the Rectangular
Survey System or Public Land Survey System (PLSS) that is the
basis for identification of legal descriptions for land parcels.
Growing demands placed on public lands and complex land ownership
patterns make the importance of accurate boundaries more critical
today than ever before. Clearly defined boundaries provide public
land managers and the American people with essential information
needed to identify rights and privileges and make the best land decisions.
