CHAPTER 17

COORDINATE SYSTEM OF LAND DESCRIPTION

55-1703. Plane coordinates. The plane coordinates to be used in expressing the position or location of a point in the appropriate zone of this system, shall consist of two (2) distances expressed in meters and decimals of a meter or in United States survey feet and decimals of a foot when using the Idaho coordinate system of 1983. For conversion purposes, one (1) United States survey foot equals one thousand two hundred (1,200) divided by three thousand nine hundred thirty-seven (3,937) meters. One (1) of these distances, to be known as "northing" or "N" shall give the position in a north-and-south direction; the other, to be known as the "easting" or "E" shall give the position in an east-and-west direction. These coordinates shall be made to depend upon and conform to the plane rectangular coordinate values of the national spatial reference system as maintained and provided by the national ocean service/national geodetic survey or its successors.
