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.
