This is Harrison County, Iowa's PLSS map system, which divides the county into a grid-like pattern. It shows the Civil Townships (used in the U.S. Census)-which are all the colored areas- and it shows the Public Land Survey System Township and Ranges outlined in red. The names in purple are the towns. The PLSS help identify land ownership by dividing it into 36 squares (from northeast to southeast), each section with 640 acres. The smallest squares represent a quarter quarter section and the number in each of these sections tells the quarter section quadrant and quarter quarter section quadrant it belongs to.
