  3. Applications: Map Projections and Coordinate Systems Task 1: Project a Shapefile from the Geographic Grid to a Plane Coordinate System Task 2: Import a Coordinate System Task 3: Project a Shapefile by Using a Predefined Coordinate System Task 4: Convert from one Coordinate System to Another

  4. The top map shows two road coverages of Idaho and Montana based on different coordinate systems. The bottom map shows the road coverages based on the same coordinate system.

  5. 900N 600N, 1200W 300N, 600W Equator The geographic coordinate system

  6. Secant Case Simple Case Conic Use of a geometric object to construct a map projection Cylindrical Azimuthal

  7. Aspect and map projection

  8. Projection surface a c b Earth’s surface Scale factor a = 1.0000 b = 0.9996 c = 1.0000 The central meridian in this secant case transverse Mercator projection has a scale factor of 0.9996. The two standard lines on either side of the central meridian have a scale factor of 1.

  9. (-,+) (+,+) (+,-) (-,-) The central parallel and the central meridian divides a map projection into four quadrants. Points within the NE quadrant have positive x- and y-coordinates, points within the NW quadrant have negative x-coordinates and positive y-coordinates, points within the SE quadrant have positive x-coordinates and negative y-coordinates, and points within the SW quadrant have negative x- and y-coordinates.

  10. The Mercator and transverse Mercator projection of the United States. The central meridian is 90°W, and the latitude of true scale is the equator.

  11. The Lambert conformal conic projection of the conterminous United States. The central meridian is 96°W, the two standard parallels are 33°N and 45°N, and the latitude of projection’s origin is 39°N.

  12. North Pole b Equator a South Pole The semi-major axis is represented by a and the semi-minor axis is represented by b.

  13. Magnitude of the horizontal shift from NAD27 to NAD83 in meters. See text for the definition of the horizontal shift. (By permission of the National Geodetic Survey.)

  14. UTM zones in the conterminous United States

  15. A UTM zone represents a secant-case transverse Mercator projection. CM is the central meridian, and AB and DE are the standard meridians. The standard meridians are placed 180 kilometers west and east of the central meridian. Each UTM zone covers 60 of longitude and extends from 840N to 800S. The size and shape of the UTM zone are exaggerated for illustration purposes.

  16. State Plane Coordinate Systems for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The Lambert conformal conic projection is the basis for the Washington and Oregon coordinate systems, whereas the transverse Mercator projection is the basis for the Idaho coordinate system. The thinner lines are county boundaries.

The shaded survey township has the designation of T1S, R2E. T1S means that the survey township is south of the base line by one unit. R2E means that the survey township is east of the Boise (principal) meridian by 2 units. Each survey township is divided into 36 sections. Each section measures 1 mile-by-1 mile and has a numeric designation.
