Cadastral Technical Working Group

Introduction

Cadastral Reference is the spatial grid of township, range, section, quarter-quarter lines, special surveys, mineral surveys or any line or corner established by a federal survey generally referred to as the Public Land Survey System (PLSS)

Vision

Idaho has a statewide Cadastral Reference base map that is:

Seamless
Meets accuracy needs and standards
Easily accessible to the GIS community and the public
Digital
Mutually beneficial to both the data producers and the data consumers
Continually maintained
Supports a multi-purpose land information system
Strives to comply with appropriate state and national standards, and
Will continue to be improved over time

Goals

Implement the vision and increase the use participating in parcel data sharing by engaging stakeholders in standards development, establish work flows and data sharing agreements and promote the benefits for data

Describe the current status of the Cadastral Reference and 24K PLSS across the state including statements of accuracy
Inventory and describe the current uses of the 24K PLSS and local cadastral reference systems for GIS mapping, especially parcel mapping
Document and present what has been shown to be possible at a local, regional, and state level, using examples of successful systems
Develop and implement, short-term, temporary procedures to assist with various GIS cadastral reference data needs while more long-term permanent solutions are being developed
Establish an education and outreach program supporting the vision
Work with BLM and local stakeholders to accomplish Cadastral Reference accuracy enhancement in priority areas
Where appropriate, use the information placed in the central control point database to enhance the Cadastral Reference
Promote legislation and public policy including developing a funding mechanism to support the vision
