PLSS land descriptions in Utah
Utah is a PLSS state surveyed primarily from the Salt Lake Meridian and its baseline.
What to know about Utah
- The Salt Lake Meridian governs most Utah township-and-range descriptions.
- Always preserve direction letters such as T2S and R1E because township and range numbers repeat on opposite sides of the baseline and meridian.
