CHAPTER 47-20.2PLANE COORDINATES47-20.2-01. North Dakota coordinate system zones defined. The systems of planecoordinates which have been established by the national oceanic and atmospheric administration
national ocean survey/national geodetic survey or its successors for defining and stating the
geographic positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within this state are, as of
July 1, 1989, to be known and designated as the North Dakota coordinate system of 1927 and
the North Dakota coordinate system of 1983. For the purpose of the use of these systems, the
state is divided into a north zone and a south zone:1.The area now included in the following counties constitutes the north zone: Divide,
Williams, McKenzie, Mountrail, Burke, Renville, Ward, McLean, Bottineau, McHenry,
Sheridan, Pierce, Rolette, Towner, Benson, Wells, Foster, Eddy, Ramsey, Cavalier,
Pembina, Walsh, Nelson, Grand Forks, Griggs, Steele, Traill.2.The area now included in the following counties constitutes the south zone: Dunn,
Golden Valley, Slope, Bowman, Adams, Hettinger, Stark, Mercer, Oliver, Morton,
Grant, Sioux, Emmons, Burleigh, Kidder, Logan, McIntosh, Stutsman, Barnes,
LaMoure, Dickey, Cass, Ransom, Sargent, Richland.47-20.2-02. North Dakota coordinate system names defined. As established for usein the north zone, the North Dakota coordinate system of 1927 or the North Dakota coordinate
system of 1983 is named, and in any land description in which it is used it must be designated
the North Dakota coordinate system of 1927, north zone, or the North Dakota coordinate system
of 1983, north zone. As established for use in the south zone, the North Dakota coordinate
system of 1927 or the North Dakota coordinate system of 1983 is named, and in any land
description in which it is used it must be designated the North Dakota coordinate system of 1927,
south zone, or the North Dakota coordinate system of 1983, south zone.47-20.2-03. North Dakota coordinate system defined. The plane coordinate valuesfor a point on the earth's surface, used in expressing the geographic position or location of such
point in the appropriate zone of this system, shall consist of two distances, expressed in United
States survey feet [meters] and decimals of a foot [meter] when using the North Dakota
coordinate system of 1927. One of these distances, to be known as the X-coordinate, shall give
the position in an east-west direction; the other, to be known as the Y-coordinate, shall give the
position in a north-south direction.These coordinates shall be made to depend upon andconform to plane rectangular coordinate values for the monumented points of the North
American horizontal geodetic control network as published by the national ocean survey/national
geodetic survey, or its successors, and the plane coordinates which have been computed on the
systems defined in this chapter.Any such station may be used for establishing a surveyconnection to either North Dakota coordinate system.For the purposes of convertingcoordinates of the North Dakota coordinate system of 1983 from meters to feet, the international
survey foot must be used. The conversion factor is: one foot equals 0.3048 meter exactly.47-20.2-04.Federal and state coordinate description same tract - Federalprecedence. Whenever coordinates based on the North Dakota coordinate system are used to
describe any tract of land which in the same document is also described by reference to any
subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys, the description by
coordinates must be construed as supplemental to the basic description of each subdivision, line,
or corner contained in the official plats and field notes filed of record, and, in the event of any
conflict, the description by reference to the subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public
land surveys prevails over the description by coordinates, unless the coordinates are upheld by
adjudication, at which time the coordinate description will prevail. This chapter does not require
any purchaser or mortgagee to rely on a description, any part of which depends exclusively upon
the North Dakota coordinate system, unless the description has been adjudicated as provided in
this section.Page No. 147-20.2-05. North Dakota coordinate system origins defined.1.For the purposes of more precisely defining the North Dakota coordinate system of
1927, the following definitions by the United States coast and geodetic survey are
adopted:a.The North Dakota coordinate system of 1927, north zone, is a Lambert
conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard
parallels at north latitudes, forty-seven degrees twenty-six minutes and
forty-eight degrees forty-four minutes along which parallels the scale shall be
exact.The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian onehundred degrees thirty minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel forty-seven
degrees zero minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x =
2,000,000 feet [609.6 kilometers], and y = 0 feet [0 kilometers].b.The North Dakota coordinate system of 1927, south zone, is a Lambert
conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard
parallels at north latitudes forty-six degrees eleven minutes and forty-seven
degrees twenty-nine minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact.
The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian one hundred
degrees thirty minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel forty-five degrees
forty minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000
feet [609.6 kilometers], and y = 0 feet [0 kilometers].2.For the purposes of more precisely defining the North Dakota coordinate system of
1983, the following definition by the national ocean survey/national geodetic survey
is adopted:a.The North Dakota coordinate system of 1983, north zone, is a Lambert
conformal conic projection of the North American datum of 1983, having
standard parallels at north latitude of forty-seven degrees twenty-six minutes
and forty-eight degrees forty-four minutes along which parallels the scale shall
be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian one
hundred degrees thirty minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel forty-seven
degrees zero minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x =
600,000.0000 meters, and y = 00.0000 meters.b.The North Dakota coordinate system of 1983, south zone, is a Lambert
conformal conic projection of the North American datum of 1983, having
standard parallels at north latitude of forty-six degrees eleven minutes and
forty-seven degrees twenty-nine minutes along which parallels the scale shall
be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian one
hundred degrees thirty minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel forty-five
degrees forty minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x =
600,000.0000 meters, and y = 00.0000 meters.47-20.2-06. North Dakota coordinate system - Use of term. The use of the NorthDakota coordinate system of 1927 north zone or south zone or the North Dakota coordinate
system of 1983 north zone or south zone on any map, report of survey, or other document must
be limited to coordinates based on the North Dakota coordinate systems as defined in this
chapter. The map, report, or document must include a statement describing the standard of
accuracy, as defined by the national ocean survey/national geodetic survey, maintained in
developing the coordinates shown therein. The coordinates must be established in conformity
with these standards:1.No coordinates based on the North Dakota coordinate system, purporting to define
the position of a point on a land boundary, may be presented to be recorded in any
public records or deed records unless the point is connected to a triangulation orPage No. 2traverse station established in conformity with the standards prescribed in this
chapter.2.Coordinate values used in land descriptions under this section must be certified by a
duly registered land surveyor under the laws of this state.47-20.2-07. Use of the term North Dakota coordinate system - Limitation. Repealedby S.L. 1989, ch. 555,
