The Public Land Survey Database was created using software designed specifically to capture projected map data from USGS source maps. The digitizing software was developed by engineers at Platte River Associates, Inc., a leader in developing geological modeling software for the oil and gas industry. Associated processing software was developed by Robert C. White Jr., President and CEO of The WhiteStar Corporation. The use of this software, combined with extensive quality control procedures, has produced a database that not only accurately represents the source maps, but conforms to the rigorous National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale maps, and is in widespread use throughout the oil and gas industry.
