Township America for Title examiners
Verify chain-of-title legal descriptions against the BLM CadNSDI grid in one paste.
Title examiners trace ownership through chain-of-title documents that describe parcels in PLSS notation, often using historical or non-standard meridian references. Township America converts even unusual legal descriptions to a verified CadNSDI section centroid + polygon — the canonical authority for what the description means on the ground.
How the workflow changes.
- Cross-reference historical descriptions against modern plat books
- Verify meridian assumptions manually for ambiguous descriptions
- Pull section polygons from a separate state GIS tool
- Re-key coordinates into the title plant
- Auto-detect meridian and parse historical legal descriptions
- Get the CadNSDI section centroid + polygon in one query
- Verify section + quarter-quarter centroid on HD satellite imagery
- Export polygons to GeoJSON for the title-plant GIS

Common questions from title examiners.
Can Township America handle historical meridian notations?
Yes. All 37 US principal meridians are supported, including Indian, Cimarron, Ute, Salt Lake, Mount Diablo, and the older Ohio land subdivision systems. The parser auto-detects the meridian when it's stated in the description and falls back to the dominant meridian for the state.
Does the converter handle Texas abstract descriptions in title work?
Yes. Texas uses the Original Texas Land Survey (OTLS) — Abstract, Block & Section, or Survey-name descriptions. The /texas hub covers all 254 Texas counties separately from the PLSS grid. Pro+ Texas map overlays surface RRC, GLO, and PSF data alongside the abstracts.
