This manual documents current official procedures for PLSS surveys. Originally proposed by Thomas Jefferson, the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) dates back to 1785. Under Congressional mandate, cadastral surveys were undertaken to create parcels suitable for disposal by the Government. The Manual of Instructions for the Survey of the Public Lands Of The United States, 1973 documents current official procedures for PLSS surveys. The document has been out of print for some time, and is still an essential reference for all current PLSS surveys. The PLSS forms the basis for most land transfers and ownership today.

<p>Because of the wide range of needs and uses, the BLM's routes represent a broad spectrum of linear features-from engineered roadways with asphalt surfaces through challenging trails accessible only to nonmotorized traffic. Inherent in the wide range of uses and "customers" is a varied vocabulary used to describe the linear features that includes roads, trails, paths, routes, and a host of derivatives of the basic terms. All of these terms have meaning and context within their respective programs but, when used collectively, often conflict and lead to confusion caused by the use of the same term to describe very different physical features.</p>
