Comments on the location information

  • Political location in record is Kittitas county. However, lat/long fall in Douglas county. Original coordinates are lat/long NAD27 47-28-50N 120-1-36W (47.4806 -120.0267); UTM N5262635 E724012 Z10; PLSS Meridian- Willamette, 023 N, 014 E, Sect 13, Sect_fract SWNWSE. The PLSS coords translate to 47 28 51N, 121 01 46W, safely in Kittitas county. The reporter likely typed 120 deg long instead of 121. The longitude was so changed using WGS84 datum. The UTM was cleared.
