The Public Land Survey System(PLSS) divides the land in the United States between the public and private domains. Public lands belong to the Federal Government for the use and benefit of the population as a whole. Generally these lands consist of undeveloped areas and originally were made up of lands turned over by the original thirteen colonies and lands acquired from Native Americans and foreign nations.
