Description: In the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a Township refers to a unit of land, nominally six miles on a side and usually containing 36 sections. Along with "range", this layer describes the unique PLSS polygons. This layer is a member of the Location Reference feature dataset, which contains layers related to georeferencing (determining location).

Description: Alphanumeric location identification system that divides Earth into 60 longitudinal zones. Most of New Mexico is in zone 13N. Shapefile obtained through ArcGIS Hub (https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/b294795270aa4fb3bd25286bf09edc51_0) and edited to remove UTM zones that do not intersect New Mexico. This layer is a member of the Location Reference feature dataset, which contains layers related to georeferencing (determining location).
Description: Public Land Survey System polygons, identified by townships (north or south), ranges (east and west), and section number. Typically cover 1 square mile though many irregular shapes exist. This layer is a member of the Location Reference feature dataset, which contains layers related to georeferencing (determining location).
