  70-22-203. Use of x- and y-coordinates. (1) For the Montana coordinate system NAD 27, the plane coordinate values for a point on the earth's surface used to express the geographic position or location of such point in the appropriate zone of this system shall consist of two distances expressed in terms of a United States survey foot and decimals of a foot.   (2) For the Montana coordinate system NAD 83, the plane coordinate values for a point on the earth's surface used to express the geographic position or location of such point in the zone shall consist of two distances expressed in either meters and decimals of a meter or in feet and decimals of a foot. The international conversion value (1 foot equals 0.3048 meters exactly) shall be used. The unit of measure shall be clearly stated when the coordinate values are expressed.   (3) One of the distances used to express a position or location, to be known as the "x-coordinate", shall give the position in an east-and-west direction; the other, to be known as the "y-coordinate", shall give the position in a north-and-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 whose plane coordinates have been computed on the systems designated by this part. Any such station may be used for establishing a survey connection to either Montana coordinate system.   History: En. Sec. 3, Ch. 232, L. 1965; R.C.M. 1947, 67-2013; amd. Sec. 3, Ch. 137, L. 1987.

For purposes of more precisely defining the Montana coordinate systems NAD 27 and NAD 83, the following description by the national ocean survey/national geodetic survey (formerly the United States coast and geodetic survey) is adopted:   (1) The Montana coordinate system NAD 27, north zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north latitudes 47° 51′ and 48° 43′, along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 109° 30′ west of Greenwich and the parallel 47° 00′ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000 feet and y = 0 feet.   (2) The Montana coordinate system NAD 27, central zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north latitudes 46° 27′ and 47° 53′, along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 109° 30′ west of Greenwich and the parallel 45° 50′ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000 feet and y = 0 feet.   (3) The Montana coordinate system NAD 27, south zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north latitudes 44° 52′ and 46° 24′, along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 109° 30′ west of Greenwich and the parallel 44° 00′ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 2,000,000 feet and y = 0 feet.   (4) The Montana coordinate system NAD 83 is a Lambert conformal conic projection of the GRS 80 (Geodetic Reference System 1980) ellipsoid, having standard parallels of north latitudes 45° 00′ and 49° 00′, along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 109° 30′ west of Greenwich and the parallel 44° 15′ north latitude.
