Southwest detail frame of PLSS sections, quarter-quarter survey cells, and held historic GLO patent locations; not an administrative quarter or current ownership map.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A tall, pale map shows a coastal area divided into large rectangular survey sections and smaller grid cells, many labeled with numbers. Sections are shaded in tan, yellow, and brown, with irregular gray water features and a blue area surrounding the shoreline. A legend appears at the upper left, and a scale bar and small printed credits appear near the bottom.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
Catalogued as a land-survey atlas detail for the southwest area. The record states that the drawing concerns PLSS sections, quarter-quarter survey cells, and held historic GLO patent locations, and is not an administrative quarter or current ownership map. Dimensions recorded as 3600 × 7001 pixels.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Small section numbers, coordinate labels, bottom credits, and some legend wording are not fully legible.
