Description
The Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) services are the authoritative source for Utah cadastral data used by the BLM Utah State Office. This includes the statewide Public Land Survey System (PLSS) and the Geographic Coordinate System Database (GCDB).
The GCDB dataset provides the BLM and the public with a set of geographic foundation data that accurately depicts the locations of PLSS corners. The GCDB is based on the best and most current survey records available, and uses known geographic positions of control stations within the PLSS network. The GCDB is the key component of all cadastral information.
All users of PLSS datasets ought to be aware that UGRC is continually updating these data. Updates are expected annually as horizontal control positions from published sources and global positioning system (GPS) observations are added. The GCDB grid is adjusted using various methods to determine the best geographic positions of the survey points.
