I suppose it makes sense as to how we ended up here, but how was physically traveling to these plots of land originally handled?

With this system and the laws around trespassing, how could any of these parcels of land been legally accessed? They would have had to cross a number of plots to arrive on a plot designated to the property owners.

Usually they’d get there through an easement, some other public access, or they don’t get there at all.

Are you saying that there were, ant the time of creation, easements to the tens of thousands of square plots of land across the western USA? If so, what happened to them?

If this vast area of land was laid out as a grid of land and there are millions of acres of public plots inaccessible, wouldn’t it follow that there is a similar issue with private plots?

I’m sure a lot of this has been solved overtime with easements for roads, but when it was originally laid out I’d think that the vast majority of plots were not legally accessible as you’d have to cross over someone else’s plot to get there.

No, I’m suggesting exactly what you’re concluding. Many of them probably have the same issue.
