The reason is that I have a mining claim boundary that is a section boundary and on the USGS paper map and the Geolocator is is one place, and on Google and MapTech it is about 300 feet to the West of USGS/GeoLocator spot as the topo shows two ravines on either side of the border. Thus Topo wise I can tell where both boundaries are clearly, the question is which of two choices is right. So came up with the idea is I can find out what the GPS coors of the two Section Corners are, I can average the Longitude and be very accurate on border as I do have a GPS. Is such info is availible on Corners without risking my life on a cliff trying to find them (had a close call already)? It is the boundary of Section 17 and 18 as it intersects the Middle Fork of the Yuba River in Nevada County CA about 39.42806, -120.88667 I have a Garmin Etrex Thanks if you can help, Dana Hi,

Do you have information for Mississippi? ExpertGPS Pro doesn't have built-in PLSS/TRS data for Mississippi, but you can overlay a GIS shapefile containing section corners from this Web site: http://www.geocommunicator.gov/shapefilesall/state/ BLM Township, Range, Section (TRS) / PLSS Data is available for the following states.
