Subject: This dataset contains trees within the State of Missouri that were tagged as witness trees tied to corners of the Public Land Survey System in the 1800s. The points in this dataset have been digitized from surveyor journals, which are available from the MO Land Survey Records Repository (https://agriculture.mo.gov/weights/landsurvey/repository.php).
