App view

The Township America view a farm and ranch appraiser sees on a typical lookup.

Farm and ranch appraisers work from county records that describe parcels in PLSS notation. The appraisal narrative needs GPS coordinates, parcel boundaries, and a satellite-imagery snapshot of the subject and comparables. Township America converts the legal description, renders the section polygon on HD satellite imagery, and exports a PDF for the appraisal report.

Common questions from farm appraisers.

Can I include a satellite image of the parcel in my PDF?

Yes — Pro and above include HD satellite imagery as a basemap. Export the map view with the section polygon overlaid as a PDF and drop it into your appraisal report.

Does the converter handle the irregular parcel shapes I see in Texas?

Yes. Township America supports the Texas Abstract / Block & Section / Survey-name system across all 254 Texas counties — separate from the PLSS grid. See the /texas hub for details.
