At a minimum this would be the township-range-section-qq, but there's an added complication. Your lookup table would need to have a common field with your data (which may require modifying said data).
To automate this, you would need to generate (or find - I don't know if one is out there) a coordinate lookup table for a script to reference or to use in a join. The PLSS is a reference grid, not a coordinate system (and note that it doesn't cover the entire US). There is no formula/equation to convert from the PLSS to lat/lon. I tried to search online but couldn't find any information regarding this except online tools where we put information for each point manually.įirst few lines of my data: Township Range1 Section QQ Footages I found this online tool which gives latitude and longitude of centroid and four corners of the section, but I want to do the same thing using R or Python.
What kind of equations they use to convert it into latitude and longitude? Is there any way i can write R or python scripts to batch convert all the points to latitude and longitude? I have 300,000 data points from all over the USA. I have data in the form of Section, Township, Range and meridian.
