What is the PLSS
- Section corners in the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) form the
- foundation for all descriptions of private property and public land
- boundaries in Utah. All legal property descriptions start from PLSS
- section corner markers, also known as monuments. Keeping the correct,
- precise location of these monuments accessible greatly reduces boundary
- discrepancies and disputes.

What is a monument
- Monuments are physical objects that mark the corners of the PLSS
- sections. The monuments are usually metal rods or brass disks in the
- ground. Each year hundreds of section corners that are used to determine
- property locations are in danger of being destroyed from land
- disturbances like new road projects, property development, and even
- conservation projects that rehabilitate vegetation after wild land and
- forest fires.
