Township America for FSA office staff
Look up farm tracts by PLSS section for FSA program enrollment, mapping, and compliance review.
USDA Farm Service Agency office staff enroll farms into programs, verify maps, and process disaster declarations — all keyed off PLSS descriptions. Township America gives staff a fast lookup that returns the section centroid, polygon, and a satellite overlay without leaving the office workstation. Pro+ adds REST API access for integrating the lookup into internal FSA tooling.
How the workflow changes.
- Look up each PLSS description in a separate plat-book or county viewer
- Re-key coordinates into the FSA mapping interface
- Verify section centroids when farmers submit handwritten legal descriptions
- Toggle between a county plat tool and the FSA program enrollment portal
- Convert dozens of farm legal descriptions per day in one paste
- Confirm section centroids visually on HD satellite imagery
- Integrate the converter into internal FSA tooling via REST API (Pro+)

Common questions from fsa office staff.
Can the converter be embedded in our internal FSA tooling?
Yes — Pro+ unlocks the REST API. Send a PLSS description as a query parameter and the response returns the centroid coordinates plus the section polygon as GeoJSON. Same API the web app uses, with fast typical response times.
Does the converter handle the older meridian notations on legacy farm records?
Yes. Township America covers all 37 principal meridians used in the US PLSS system — including Indian, Cimarron, Black Hills, and the older Ohio land subdivision systems. Auto-detected from the description; no manual meridian selection needed.
