PLSS Corner Records — Arizona

Arizona PLSS corner records are filed as recorded land surveys with the county recorder. The state does not publish a single statewide corner-record form; required content is governed by the statutory survey-recording requirements.

Filing Requirements

Where Corner Records Are Filed in Arizona

When a public-land monument is set, found, or restored, the work is shown on a Record of Survey and recorded with the county recorder under the statutory survey-recording requirements.

County Recorder (recorded land survey)

No statewide form published — filed on surveyor-prepared documents to the statutory content standard.

Street View Coverage

Street View Reaches 62.4% of Arizona Townships

Of the 2,928 PLSS townships in Arizona, 1,826 (62.4%) contain usable Google Street View imagery — meaning a surveyor can pull up the road camera view of a monument before ever leaving the office. Coverage skews toward roads and populated areas; monuments in remote rural sections are less likely to have a nearby capture.

Corner-Plot Workflow

Pre-Field Review for Arizona Corners

Upload a Arizona Corner Record PDF. Corner-Plot reads the form with OCR — extracting the surveyor name, township-range-section, monument description, and every bearing and distance tie. The corner is geo-located automatically across the PLSS grid, assigning a GCDB-standard 21-character Point ID and a confidence rating of High, Medium, or Low.

When the monument sits at or near a roadway, Corner-Plot brings up Google Street View with its full capture history — up to 20 years. AI analyzes each date and returns a structured monument-condition verdict. A printable field prep report covers the resolved coordinate, aerial tie overlay, monument classification history, and original GLO field notes.
