Comments on the location information

  • Political location is said to be Okanogan county. UTM N5404708 E667739 Z10 and PLSS 037N, 017E, S22, SWSE agree with lat/long NAD27 N-48-46-29, W-120-43-01. Google earth plots it in Okanogan but County100 coverage in ArcGIS plots it in Whatcom county. No other clues in the record. Recalculating current NAD27 DMS as WGS84 moves the location 240m N, solidly in Okanogan county in both GE and ArcGIS. UTM and PLSS were cleared.
