Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Beaverhead county, Montana. However, lat/long falls 70 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 017 W, Sect 17, Sect_fract SENESW. PLSS coordinates translate to 45.393 -113.734, very close to the coordinates resulting from recalculating the original lat/long with the WGS84 datum. Both fall in Beaverhead county. Since PLSS is less precise, the coordinates were recalculated using WGS84 datum.
