State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 2.

When the state plane coordinate system was established, the authors described the system in simple terms, easily understood by users.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 3.

Since we're surveyors, we can't think of a map projection as used only for paper maps - but this concept may be hard for some people to grasp.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 4.

The three basic projections, discussed in the last column, are shown and discussed here.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 1.

Describe the state plane coordinate system, how it came to be, and why some surveyors and engineers don't want to work with the system

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 5.

In this article, I want to show how to generate NAD 27 state plane coordinates for a known geodetic position using hand computations.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 6.

In this article, I will calculate the state plane coordinates for a geodetic control point in a state that uses the transverse Mercator projection.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 7.

In this column I'm going to show how to start a traverse using state plane coordinates.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 8.

In the last column I gave a sketch of the sample problem, (Figure 2, page 18, Oct. POB), that will be used to demonstrate traversing using state plane coordinates.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.


State Plane Coordinates vs. Surface Coordinates, Part 9.

To summarize, we converted the latitude and longitude coordinates, determined by GPS, of stations BROMILOW, REILLY and WAKEMAN to state plane coordinates in the New Mexico Central zone, using program SPCS83.

by James P. Reilly, Ph.D.
