A public land survey system map is a technique used to survey and identify land parcels in the United States. This map is different then and coordinate system map as it is more detailed and not used worldwide. The map above in my opinion is a hybrid of a PLSS and a topographic map has grids to show land parcels for a PLSS but also the lines represent distance and bend to create a three dimensional side of the map like a topographic map.
