Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Asotin county, WA. Lat/long plot 3.4km inside adjacent Nez Perce county, ID. Original coordinates are lat/long NAD27 46-17-9N 116-56-22W (46.2858 -116.9394); UTM N5125589 E504664 Z11; PLSS Meridian- Willamette, 006 N, 047 E, Sect 05, Sect_fract SWSE. UTM agrees with lat/long. However, PLSS coords plot very far away, 46 01 10N 116 56 30W (46.02, -116.942), inside Asotin county. Difference of DMS lat- 16 minutes, long- 8 seconds, DD lat- 0.2658, long- 0.0026 Bib_ref is U.S. BUREAU OF MINES FILES (WFOC) so this will be difficult to check. Looks like the reporter typed 17 instead of 1 minutes. The lat minutes was so changed, using WGS84 datum. UTM was cleared.
