The Point layer covers the State of Washington with a variety of different types of locations. The great majority of Points, point type 1, Corner Point, are located at the corners, or angle points, of Legal Description and Parcel areas. (See the metadata for Legal Description and Parcel.) Corner Points can represent differing types of locations such as surveyed monuments, locations calculated by survey, locations digitized from various maps like US Geological Survey quadrangles, and locations that serve no other purpose than to stabilize the endpoint of a Boundary or angle point of a Legal Description or Parcel. Points are the only features in the upland Cadastre that have attributes regarding the source and accuracy of the data. The known accuracy of the data varies dramatically from place to place. The attributes also indicate whether there is a known physical object to look for on the ground. The second type of Point, Geodetic Control Point, point type 2, is not currently populated. The third type of Point, Significant Coordinated Location, point type 3, can be used to store any type of point location that has cadastral significance. At present, the only Significant Coordinated Points in Cadastre are those points along the Washington Pacific Ocean coast which were used by the US Minerals Management Service to calculate the boundary of the State at one marine league from the coast.WA Public Land Survey Points MetadataClick to download
