Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Judith Basin county. However, lat/long plot in Park county. Original coordinates for line#1 were: lat/long NAD27 46-5-N 110-37-W (46.08333 -110.61667); UTM N<blank> E<blank> Z<blank>; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 015N, RNG 009E, Sect 07,08, Sect_fract <blank>. PLSS translates to 47 04 32N, 110 37 13W. It is likely the reporter typed 46 deg lat instead of 47. Lat/long changed to center of PLSS Section 7, 8 using WGS84 datum. Oddly, the original coordinates are the same as for Hughesville 10008953.
