Text

The plane coordinate values for 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 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

The plane coordinate values for 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 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, and the plane coordinates which have
been computed on the systems defined in this chapter. Any such station may be used for
establishing a survey connection to either North Dakota coordinate system. For the purposes of
converting coordinates of the North Dakota coordinate systems of 1983 and 2022 from meters
to feet, the international foot must be used. The conversion factor is: one foot equals 0.3048
meter exactly.
