Under the Idaho Corner Perpetuation and Filing Act, a corner record must be filed with the county recorder whenever a PLSS corner is established, reestablished, or restored. Idaho does not publish a single statewide form — surveyors prepare corner records to the statutory content requirements.
Filing Requirements
Within the statutory period after monumenting a public-land corner, the surveyor files a corner record describing the monument, accessories, and ties with the county recorder.
County Recorder
No statewide form published — filed on surveyor-prepared documents to the statutory content standard.
Street View Coverage
Of the 2,426 PLSS townships in Idaho, 1,480 (61%) 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.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total PLSS townships | 2,426 |
| Townships with Street View | 1,480 |
| Coverage rate | 61% |
| Capture depth | Up to 20 years of history |
Corner-Plot Workflow
Upload a Idaho 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.
