                    COORDINATE SYSTEM OF LAND DESCRIPTION
    55-1703.  PLANE COORDINATES. The plane coordinates of a point on the
earth's surface, to be used in expressing the position or location of such
point in the appropriate zone of this system, shall consist of two (2)
distances, expressed in United States survey feet and decimals of a foot when
using the Idaho coordinate system of 1927 and expressed in meters and decimals
of a meter when using the Idaho coordinate system of 1983. For state plane
coordinate system 27 (SPCS 27), one (1) of these distances, 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. For state plane coordinate system 83 (SPCS 83), one
(1) of these distances, to be known as "northing" or "N" shall give the
position in a north-and-south direction; the other, to be known as the
"easting" or "E" shall give the position in an east-and-west direction. These
coordinates shall be made to depend upon and conform to the plane rectangular
coordinate values for the monumented points of the North American national
geodetic horizontal network as published by the national ocean
service/national geodetic survey or its successors, and such plane coordinates
shall have been computed on the systems defined in this chapter. Any such
station may be used for establishing a survey connection to either the Idaho
coordinate system of 1927 or the Idaho coordinate system of 1983, and after
December 31, 1995, only to the Idaho coordinate system of 1983.
