(1) The systems of plane coordinates which are established by the NOAA/NGS for defining and stating the positions of points on or near the surface of the earth within this state shall be known and designated as the Michigan coordinate system of 1927, or MCS 27, and the Michigan coordinate system of 1983, or MCS 83. (2)…
As used in this act: (a) "Coordinates" means the x and y plane rectangular coordinate values computed for a geographic position from a pair of mutually perpendicular axes. These axes are the meridian and parallel, defined in sections 5 and 5a, whose intersection defines the origin of each zone. (b) "FGCC" means the fed…
(1) As established for use in the north zone, the Michigan coordinate system of 1927 or the Michigan coordinate system of 1983 shall be named, and in any land description in which it is used, shall be designated, respectively, the Michigan coordinate system of 1927, north zone, or the Michigan coordinate system of 1983…
The coordinates for a point on or near the earth's surface that are used to express the geographic position of that point in the appropriate zone of this system shall consist of 2 distances. Each distance shall be expressed in United States survey feet (1 foot = 12/39.37 meters) and decimals of a survey foot if using t…
If a tract of land is defined by a single description and extends from 1 into another of the coordinate zones described in section 1, the positions of all points on the tract's boundaries may be referred to either of the 2 zones. The zone which is used for reference shall be specifically named in the description.
(1) For the purposes of more precisely defining the Michigan coordinate system of 1927, the following definition by the NOAA/NGS is adopted: (a) The Michigan coordinate system of 1927, north zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, magnified in linear dimension by a factor of 1.0000382, h…
(1) For purposes of more precisely defining the Michigan coordinate system of 1983, the following definition by the NOAA/NGS is adopted: (a) The Michigan coordinate system of 1983, north zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the North American datum of 1983, having standard parallels at north latitudes 45 degrees…
Coordinates based on either Michigan coordinate system described in this act, purporting to define the position of a point or a land boundary corner, shall not be presented to be recorded unless the recording document contains an estimate, expressed as a standard deviation, of the positional tolerance of the coordinate…
(1) The use of the term Michigan coordinate system of 1927 on a map, report of survey, or other document shall be limited to coordinates based on the Michigan coordinate system of 1927 as defined in section 5. (2) The use of the term Michigan coordinate system of 1983 on a map, report of survey, or other document shall…
(1) For the purpose of describing the location of a survey station or land boundary corner in the state of Michigan, it shall be considered a complete, legal, and satisfactory description of that location to give the position of the survey station or land boundary corner by the Michigan coordinate system of 1927 or the…
The Michigan coordinate system of 1927 shall not be used after December 31, 1989. The Michigan coordinate system of 1983 shall be the sole system used after December 31, 1989.
