For purposes of more specifically defining the Nevada Coordinate System of 1927, the following definition by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is adopted:\n(a) The Nevada Coordinate System of 1927, East Zone, is a transverse Mercator projection of the Clarke Spheroid of 1866, having a central meridian 115°35¢ west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set at one part in 10,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 115°35¢ west of Greenwich and the parallel 34°45¢ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 500,000 feet and y = 0 feet.\n(b) The Nevada Coordinate System of 1927, Central Zone, is a transverse Mercator projection of the Clarke Spheroid of 1866, having a central meridian 116°40¢ west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set at one part in 10,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 116°40¢ west of Greenwich and the parallel 34°45¢ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 500,000 feet and y = 0 feet.\n(c) The Nevada Coordinate System of 1927, West Zone, is a transverse Mercator projection of the Clarke Spheroid of 1866, having a central meridian 118°35¢ west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set at one part in 10,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 118°35¢ west of Greenwich and the parallel 34°45¢ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 500,000 feet and y = 0 feet.\n2. For purposes of more specifically defining the Nevada Coordinate System of 1983, the following definition by the National Geodetic Survey of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is adopted:\n(a) The Nevada Coordinate System of 1983, East Zone, is a transverse Mercator projection of the North American Datum of 1983, having a central meridian 115°35¢ west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set at one part in 10,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 115°35¢ west of Greenwich and the parallel 34°45¢ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 200,000 meters and y = 8,000,000 meters.\n(b) The Nevada Coordinate System of 1983, Central Zone, is a transverse Mercator projection of the North American Datum of 1983, having a central meridian 116°40¢ west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set at one part in 10,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 116°40¢ west of Greenwich and the parallel 34°45¢ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 500,000 meters and y = 6,000,000 meters.\n(c) The Nevada Coordinate System of 1983, West Zone, is a transverse Mercator projection of the North American Datum of 1983, having a central meridian 118°35¢ west of Greenwich, on which meridian the scale is set at one part in 10,000 too small. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 118°35¢ west of Greenwich and the parallel 34°45¢ north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x = 800,000 meters and y = 4,000,000 meters.","path":["TITLE 26 — PUBLIC LANDS","CHAPTER 327 - NEVADA COORDINATE SYSTEM; GEOGRAPHIC NAMES","NEVADA COORDINATE SYSTEM"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-327.html#NRS327Sec050","current_through":"2025 session (NRS as revised 2026-08-25)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T05:51:37Z","sha256":"bbe872350d730c4ab0cbeedf26001fa76e2318b1ba9fbc1e0a8f3dff5b2bcb31","source_id":"us-nv","stale":true,"prev":"us-nv/nrs-327.040","next":"us-nv/nrs-327.060"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
