§ 34-25-102 — Designation of coordinates

The plane coordinates of a point on the earth's surface, to be
used in expressing the position or location of such point in the
appropriate zone of this system, shall consist of two (2)
distances, expressed in feet and decimals of a foot, or meters
and decimals of a meter. One (1) of these distances, to be
known as the "east x-coordinate" shall give the distance east of
the Y axis; the other, to be known as the "north y-coordinate"
shall give the distance north of the X axis. The Y axis of any
zone shall be parallel with the central meridian of that zone.
The X axis of any zone shall be at right angles to the central
meridian of that zone. One (1) foot shall equal three thousand
forty-eight ten-thousandths (0.3048) of one (1) meter and shall
be used as the standard unit of measurement for the Wyoming
Plane Coordinate System. The official geodetic datums to which
geodetic coordinates are referenced within the state of Wyoming
including latitude, longitude, ellipsoid height, orthometric
height or dynamic height shall be defined by the NSRS. Height is
the coordinate value of the vertical elements of the NSRS
expressed in feet and identified as ellipsoid height or
orthometric height.
