Surveyors are working to improve the spatial accuracy of GIS layers in Montana. This article discusses the surveyor's role in making GIS better.
Because Montana based most of its cadastre upon the Bureau of Land Management's Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB, a digital representation of the locations of the Public Lands Survey System corners), the process for improving the spatial accuracy of the GIS cadastre first requires upgrades to the accuracy of the GCDB.
Montana's surveyors play a significant role in the GCDB enhancement projects where the ultimate goal is to improve the spatial alignment of GIS layers. This article discusses the surveyor's role in making GIS better.
