The Section Corner Identification Program (SCID) is a voluntary effort to recover, record and document positional information for purported section corners and quarter section corners established by the United States Public Land Survey within the State of Alabama.
This data is published for general reference and GIS standardizations.  It should not be used as a substitute for legal boundary surveys.
Rules:
Corner information must be submitted only by surveyors licensed in the State of Alabama.  No blind submittals will be accepted. GPS occupation of the corner is preferred although in some cases traditional surveys combined with GPS occupation will be accepted. GPS occupations and traditional surveys should be performed in compliance with The Standards of Practice for Surveying in the State of Alabama. All submittals are voluntary and subject to publication. Data may be submitted online or in hard copy to The City of Huntsville Geographic Information Systems division. Data submitted will not be a direct entry into the database.  It will be reviewed and published by the GIS staff. Submittals for the same corner will be published on a first come, first published basis. Only section corners and section quarter corners will be accepted. Disputes over corner coordinates shall be submitted to The City of Huntsville GIS division for review. To avoid duplication of database records, all coordinates will be published as the NorthWest corner.
