It doesn't divide it in to 7.5 minute maps, that is just the way the USGS produces there topo maps, however the PLSS does divide the maps into 36 square mile townships (6 by 6), and those townships into 36, 1 square mile sectors (1 by 1).dxu46 wrote:I don't think that it separates the US into 7.5 minute maps, as then Kentucky, etc. wouldn't be 7.5 minute.Tailsfan101 wrote:Yep, the PLSS is a system that separates the US into 7.5 minute maps.

I don't think it specifically has anything to do with topo maps, except that frequently a topo map is of the same size as one of the PLSS measurements.
(that's basically the extent of my knowledge about PLSS)

Re: Road Scholar B
Longitude and Latitude divides the states up into 7.5 minute maps. PLSS is merely a regional measurement system (Divided into regions). Some states don't even have PLSS.hippo9 wrote:It doesn't divide it in to 7.5 minute maps, that is just the way the USGS produces there topo maps, however the PLSS does divide the maps into 36 square mile townships (6 by 6), and those townships into 36, 1 square mile sectors (1 by 1).dxu46 wrote:I don't think that it separates the US into 7.5 minute maps, as then Kentucky, etc. wouldn't be 7.5 minute.Tailsfan101 wrote: Yep, the PLSS is a system that separates the US into 7.5 minute maps.

Problems are better pursued with General Electric GE90-115 engines.

Re: Road Scholar B
My partner and I are stumped on how to find exact square milage area of an inset. Is there an easier way to find the inset area that we're missing or is the test answer key strict?
It's the bay area test on the test exchange question 41. It uses a colorado map and is asking the area of the mesa verde national park inset.
The answer is 281 Square Miles and I got 278 Square Miles.

Re: Road Scholar B
Usually length x width is your best option, but maybe some maps have map area inset, I really don't know. But chances are, if the test has a question like that, there will usually be some easy way to tell.JVallurup47 wrote:My partner and I are stumped on how to find exact square milage area of an inset.

Also, I would bet that there is an easy way for this test because 281 is a prime number and cannot be the side lengths of an inset (unless we go to the realm of *GASP* fractions and decimals...)

Hmmm... thanks for the help. Have you ever seen an inset map area number on a roadmap?

It's the Ladera Vista test.
I've actually seen this test reused at an invitational this year.
