{wiki=Principal_meridians_of_Alaska}
Principal meridians are the reference lines used in the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) for surveying and mapping land in the United States. In Alaska, the principal meridian is the **Copper River Meridien**. This meridian serves as the basis for surveying land in the areas that were established under the PLSS in Alaska. Additionally, it's worth noting that Alaska has a unique surveying system due to its vast size and diverse geography, which includes several other linear systems and regional adjustments.
