§ 32-19-2-1 — Positions expressed by x-coordinate and y-coordinate

(a) The plane coordinates of a point on the
earth's surface, used to express the position or location of that point in
the appropriate zone of the Indiana coordinate system described in IC 32-19-1, must consist of two (2) distances expressed in:
(1) U.S. Survey feet (1 meter = 39.37/12 feet) and decimals of a
foot when using the Indiana coordinate system of 1927; and
(2) meters and decimals of a meter and United States Survey feet
and decimals of a foot when using the Indiana coordinate system
of 1983.
(b) The distance described in subsection (a) that gives the position
in an east-and-west direction is called the "x-coordinate". The distance
described in subsection (a) that gives the position in a north-and-south
direction is called the "y-coordinate". These coordinates must be made
to depend upon and conform 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, if the successor's plane coordinates
have been computed on the Indiana coordinate system of 1927 or the
Indiana coordinate system of 1983. Any station may be used for
establishing a survey connection to the Indiana coordinate system of
1927 or the Indiana coordinate system of 1983.
