Southeast 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, vertically oriented map shows a tan coastal land area surrounded by pale blue water. Rectangular survey lines divide the land into numbered sections and smaller cells, with several irregular inland water bodies and differently shaded areas. A legend, coordinate grid, title, and scale bar appear around the map.
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.
