Full text of Oklahoma Oklahoma Statutes § 60-1005 — Definitions, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 60-1005. Definitions
A. For purposes of more precisely defining the Oklahoma
Coordinate System of 1927, the following definition by the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey (now National Ocean
Service/National Geodetic Survey) is adopted:
1. The "Oklahoma Coordinate System of 1927 North Zone", is a
Lambert conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866,
having parallels at north latitudes 35 degrees 34 minutes and 36
degrees 46 minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact.
The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 98
degrees 00 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 35 degrees 00
minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x =
2,000,000 feet and y = 0 feet.
2. The "Oklahoma Coordinate System of 1927 South Zone", is a
Lambert conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866,
having parallels at north latitudes 33 degrees 56 minutes and 35
degrees 14 minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact.
The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 98
degrees 00 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 33 degrees 20
minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: x =
2,000,000 feet and y = 0 feet.
B. For purposes of more precisely defining the Oklahoma
Coordinate System of 1983, the following definition by the National
Ocean Service/National Geodetic Survey is adopted:
1. The "Oklahoma Coordinate System of 1983 North Zone" is a
Lambert conformal conic projection of the North American Datum of
1983, having parallels at north latitudes 35 degrees 34 minutes and
36 degrees 46 minutes along which parallels the scale shall be
exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the
meridian 98 degrees 00 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 35
degrees 00 minutes north latitude. This origin is given the
coordinates: x = 600,000 meters and y = 0 meters.
2. The "Oklahoma Coordinate System of 1983 South Zone" is a
Lambert conformal conic projection of the North American Datum of
1983, having standard parallels at north latitudes 33 degrees 56
minutes and 35 degrees 14 minutes along which parallels the scale
shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 60. Property
the meridian 98 degrees 00 minutes west of Greenwich and the
parallel 33 degrees 20 minutes north latitude. This origin is given
the coordinates: x = 600,000 meters and y = 0 meters.
C. For purposes of more precisely defining the Oklahoma Plane
Coordinate System (OKPCS), the Oklahoma Plane Coordinate System
shall be the State Plane Coordinate System of 2022 (SPC2022) or its
most recent successor as defined by the National Geodetic Survey or
its successor agency.
