Township America for Land abstractors
Plot every parcel in a chain of title onto the BLM CadNSDI grid for the abstract certificate.
Land abstractors trace a parcel's history back to the original patent. Each deed in the chain references a PLSS description that needs to map to a verifiable polygon on the current cadastre. Township America's CadNSDI-backed converter is the authoritative reference — same dataset BLM field offices and state surveyors use to define section boundaries today.
How the workflow changes.
- Manually plot historical deeds against modern county tax maps
- Cross-reference patent records in a separate BLM GLO viewer
- Verify centroid offsets on ambiguous metes-and-bounds descriptions
- Hand-trace the parcel history for the abstract certificate
- Convert each deed's PLSS or metes-and-bounds description to a verified centroid
- Pull the CadNSDI section polygon for every step of the chain
- Export the chain as a polygon set for the abstract package
- Verify the original GLO patent location against the modern cadastre

Common questions from land abstractors.
Is Township America's data the same as the BLM cadastre?
Yes. Township America's PLSS conversion uses BLM CadNSDI — the same dataset BLM Field Offices, FSA, and state surveyors reference for section boundaries today. That makes it the authoritative target for any abstract certificate.
