1. For the purposes of more precisely defining the North Dakota coordinate system of
1927, the following definitions by the United States coast and geodetic survey are
adopted:
a. The North Dakota coordinate system of 1927, north zone, is a Lambert conformal
conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north
latitudes, forty-seven degrees twenty-six minutes and forty-eight degrees
forty-four minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of
coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian one hundred degrees thirty
minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel forty-seven degrees zero minutes
north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000 feet [609.6
kilometers], and y = 0 feet [0 kilometers].
b. The North Dakota coordinate system of 1927, south zone, is a Lambert conformal
conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north
latitudes forty-six degrees eleven minutes and forty-seven degrees twenty-nine
minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates
is at the intersection of the meridian one hundred degrees thirty minutes west of
Greenwich and the parallel forty-five degrees forty minutes north latitude. This
origin is given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000 feet [609.6 kilometers], and y = 0
feet [0 kilometers].

at north latitude of forty-seven degrees twenty-six minutes and forty-eight
degrees forty-four minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The

thirty minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel forty-seven degrees zero
