The State of Utah Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Fabric version 1.0 was generated from the Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (CadNSDI) version 2.0 which are the core or essential elements of cadastral information that provide the framework for building and using cadastral (land records) information nationwide.

The PLSS data within the CadNSDI is typically survey data, control observations and other supplemental measurements, but in some cases survey information has not been completely abstracted or is not available and in these cases non Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) information has been used such as digitized maps or data from other sources. In all cases the data steward is identified in the data sets and the metadata records.

The PLSS Fabric is created and maintained through a collaborative partnership between the State of Utah Department of Technology Services, Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC); the State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), and the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and BLM contractor Premier Data Solutions (Premier) with contributions from the Utah Mapping and Information Partnership (UMIP) through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

Survey Control added to the PLSS Fabric are provided by the BLM Surveyors, County Surveyors, County Contract Surveyors and Private Surveyors throughout the State.
