This map above is a example of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) map of Franklin County, Alabama.  The entire county of Franklin was surveyed and then broken down into rectangular subsections for the public to purchase property.  The red lines in the image above indicate the separation of the subsections and the blue shows the different townships in the county.
