Chapter 47: Property Law
Article 1: Conveyances and General Provisions, 47-1-1 through 47-1-56
Section 47-1-56: Use of coordinate system.
47-1-56. Use of coordinate system.
For the purpose of describing the location of any survey station or land boundary corner in the state of New Mexico, it shall be considered a complete, legal and satisfactory description of such location to give the position of said survey state or land boundary corner on the system of coordinates defined in Sections 47-1-49 through 47-1-56 NMSA 1978.
Nothing contained in those sections shall require a purchaser or mortgagee of real property to rely wholly on a land description, any part of which depends exclusively upon the New Mexico coordinate system.
Where conflicts arise in the location of a corner or other boundary element when such corner or element's location is described in both the conventional system and the New Mexico coordinate system, the description providing the most certain location shall be used.
