Northwest detail frame of PLSS sections, quarter-quarter survey cells, and held historic GLO patent locations; not an administrative quarter or current ownership map.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A tall map plate shows a narrow tan landmass along the right side, bordered by pale blue water. The land is divided into numbered rectangular survey sections and smaller grid cells, with several sections shaded in contrasting colors and fine terrain lines visible. A legend appears at the upper left, with a scale bar near the lower left and coordinate markings around the map frame.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.
