        <idAbs>&lt;p&gt;The Kansas County Databases of the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS) provide, for each of the 105 counties in Kansas, high quality digital representations of basic Kansas land divisions first established by the PLSS, primarily between the years of 1854 and 1877. They are derived from data contained in PLSS databases of the USGS 24K Digital Line Graph (DLG) series and data from the Kansas Cartographic Database (KCD) developed by the Kansas Geological Survey. All of the data is derived from USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. Only minimal edge matching was performed between DLG databases. Features represented in the county databases include the basic point, line and area features established in the original Public Land Surveys of Kansas. Currently lacking from this collection is a complete representation of Indian land boundaries surveyed in Kansas as part of the original PLSS while those Indian lands were still excluded from the public lands. The data from the KCD was captured using in-house KGS software, GIMMAP (Geodata Interactive Management, Mapping and Production). Using Arc Macro Language (AML) files, DLG&amp;quot;s for individual quadrangles covering each county were imported into Arc/Info using the &amp;quot;dlgarc&amp;quot; command. The individual DLG&amp;quot;s were then merged and cleaned to form the county databases. This procedure was only possible after the original USGS DLG&amp;quot;s were reformatted to establish uniform numbers and sequences of attributes for all nodes, areas, and lines in the original USGS DLG&amp;quot;s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style='border:0px; font-variant-numeric:inherit; font-variant-east-asian:inherit; font-variant-alternates:inherit; font-variant-position:inherit; font-stretch:inherit; font-kerning:inherit; font-feature-settings:inherit; margin:0px; padding:0px; max-width:100%;'&gt;The
