SERIES: 27052
TITLE: Geographic coordinate database (GCDB) control records
DATES: 1995-
ARRANGEMENT: Grouped by file type, thereunder chronological

DESCRIPTION: Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) portrays the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) at a more detailed level than other sources including subdivision of sections to the 40 acre parcel and non-rectangular surveys like mineral surveys, tracts, official riparian (water) boundaries, homestead entry surveys, desert land entry surveys and other surveys performed for the purpose of patenting the public lands.

GCDB is generated from official BLM survey records and control coordinates of varying accuracy. GCDB data includes an estimate of the positional accuracy of the coordinates. This estimate is based on residual errors in adjusting survey data between known coordinates. This data allows the GIS user to determine suitability of the GCDB for various applications.
