in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law directs the Secretary of the Interior to finish land surveys in each surveying district. Once a district's surveys and records are complete, the Secretary must hand them over to that state's government. The state receives the field notes, maps, records, and other papers about land titles.

This section covers finishing public land surveys and handing over the records to the states. The Secretary of the Interior must take all necessary steps to finish the surveys in the various surveying districts, as early as the law's purposes allow. When the surveys and records for any district are complete, the Secretary of the Interior (or an officer the Secretary designates) must deliver everything to the secretary of state of the state where that district is located, or to whatever other officer is authorized to receive them. This delivery includes all the field notes, maps, records, and other papers relating to land titles in that district.
