  2. State Plane Coordinate System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Plane_Coordinate_System

    Thus the state plane coordinate system is still useful. Originally, the state plane coordinate systems were based on the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27). Later, the more accurate North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) became the standard (a geodetic datum is the way a coordinate system is linked to the physical Earth). More recently there ...

  3. United States National Grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Grid

    The United States National Grid (USNG) is a multi-purpose location system of grid references used in the United States. It provides a nationally consistent "language of location", optimized for local applications, in a compact, user friendly format. It is similar in design to the national grid reference systems used in other countries.

    Primarily from the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual. [1] State names usually signify only parts of each listed state, unless otherwise indicated. Based on the BLM manual's 1973 publication date, and the reference to Clarke's Spheroid of 1866 in section 2-82, coordinates appear to be in the NAD27 datum.

  5. Lambert conformal conic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic...

    The U.S. National Geodetic Survey's "State Plane Coordinate System of 1983" uses the Lambert conformal conic projection to define the grid-coordinate systems used in several states, primarily those that are elongated west to east such as Tennessee.

  6. North American Datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Datum

    The United States National Spatial Reference System NAD 83(2011/MA11/PA11) epoch 2010.00, is a refinement of the NAD 83 datum using data from a network of very accurate GPS receivers at Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS).

  7. List of national coordinate reference systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national...

    Given that every projection gives deformations, each country's needs are different in order to reduce these distortions. These national projections, or national Coordinate Reference Systems are officially announced by the relevant national agencies. The list below is a collection of available official national projected Coordinate Reference ...

  8. 41st parallel north - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/41st_parallel_north

    GPX (secondary coordinates) The 41st parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 41 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane . It crosses Europe , the Mediterranean Sea , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , North America , and the Atlantic Ocean .

  9. Geodetic datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_datum

    A geodetic datum or geodetic system (also: geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame, or terrestrial reference frame) is a global datum reference or reference frame for unambiguously representing the position of locations on Earth by means of either geodetic coordinates (and related vertical coordinates) or geocentric coordinates.
