Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Okanogan county. Lat/long plots just inside Douglas county. Placer is on the same river as county line. Original coordinates are lat/long NAD27 48-6-30N 119-16-23W (48.1083 -119.2731); UTM N5330621 E330794 Z11; PLSS Meridian- Willamette, 030 N, 028 E, Sect 11. Recalculating the lat/long using WGS84 datum shifts the point slightly north, into Okanogan county but still on the river. PLSS became correct with the shift. UTM cleared.
