PLSS Corner Records — Idaho

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.

Corner record templates

Acquired corner records include a filled PDF and editable DWG where a matching form is available. Find them in your saved corner library, at no additional credit charge.

Filing Requirements

Where Corner Records Are Filed in Idaho

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

Street View Reaches 61% of Idaho Townships

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.

Corner-Plot Workflow

Pre-Field Review for Idaho Corners

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.
