Positions expressed by x-coordinate and y-coordinate
Sec. 1. (a) The plane coordinates of a point on the earth's surface,
used to express the position or location of that point in the
appropriate zone of the Indiana coordinate system described in
IC 32-19-1, must consist of two (2) distances expressed in:
(1) U.S. Survey feet (1 meter = 39.37/12 feet) and decimals of
a foot when using the Indiana coordinate system of 1927; and
(2) meters and decimals of a meter and United States Survey
feet and decimals of a foot when using the Indiana coordinate
system of 1983.
(b) The distance described in subsection (a) that gives the position
in an east-and-west direction is called the "x-coordinate". The
distance described in subsection (a) that gives the position in a
north-and-south direction is called the "y-coordinate". These
coordinates must 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, if the successor's plane coordinates have been computed
on the Indiana coordinate system of 1927 or the Indiana coordinate
system of 1983. Any station may be used for establishing a survey
connection to the Indiana coordinate system of 1927 or the Indiana
coordinate system of 1983.
