Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Beaverhead county, MT. However, the lat/long plots 160 m inside adjacent Lemhi county, Idaho. Original coordinates were: lat/long NAD27 45-23-38N 113-44-6W (45.3939 -113.735); UTM N5030129 E285916 Z12N; PLSS line# 1: Meridian- Montana Principal, TWNSHP 005 S, RNG 015 W, Sect 17, Sect_fract SENWSW. Location precision is said to be within 10 meters, so lat/long was recalculated using WGS84 datum, shifting the point into Beaverhead county. UTM coords were recalculated. PLSS coords remained correct.
