Comments on the location information

  • BLM ROSWELL RESOURCE AREA; LATITUDE-LONGITUDE VALUES CALCULATED FROM TOWNSHIP, RANGE, SECTION.
  • Cleared lat/long DMS fields in favor of DD because DMS long_deg plotted in the Pacific Ocean. Location county disagrees with current lat/long, probably because they were derived from TRS, (see previous location comment).
