Allotment parcel identification

Show mobile version

Our system identifies every allotment by three attributes:

Allotment number - a number uniquely identifying the allotment within a state, for example "04013"
Allotment name - a name of the allotment, for example "Martens Bros.-Berger"
State - a two letter state symbol, for example "ID"
On our items list display the example allotment is represented as "04013, Martens Bros.-Berger, ID"

Searching for allotments on the map

Show mobile version

When you click any point on the map it sends the query to our backend system with the coordinates of the clicked point. We try to find any allotment, which contains this location. If we find it we will display it - see Figure 1 . We also display a box with allotment description. There is a link inside it which allows you to add this allotment to your current ranch. We may also find a qqsection at the same point. In that case both an allotment and a qqsection are displayed in separate boxes.
