The Benson Syndicate was an unusual, 19th century organized crime organization in the western United States which received contracts from the United States General Land Office (GLO) to perform cadastral land surveys of the public lands. It was led by, and named after, John A Benson (1845–1910), originally from Illinois and later a US deputy surveyor in California. The Syndicate operated from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific, but was most active in California and headquartered in San Francisco.
