In the context of United States land surveying, a "section" refers to a specific parcel of land that is part of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The PLSS is a method developed in the 18th century for surveying and mapping land in the United States, particularly in areas that were not originally part of the original thirteen colonies.
