This is an example of a PLSS map, or Public Land Survey System. This is a systematic type of cadastral map. You can easily see where the land is partitioned in multiple levels. First by the red lines, where the east west lines are called baselines and the lines running north and south are called the principal meridian. The area these lines enclose are further divided into 36 one square mile "townships". This specific map is the PLSS of Harris County, Iowa.
