Note

BLM's collection does not hold every federal title record; a patent is a historical record, not current title. Matched by geometry: BLM's survey polygons (the BLM survey grid) for the claim, lot or quarter-quarter against this outline and its center; the polygon edges are generalized (about 15 feet), so a center that close to a line may lie on either side.
