State Plane Coordinate System

The State Plane Coordinate System is a precise method used by surveyors and engineers to locate points within a state accurately. It divides each state into smaller regions, called zones, each with a specific coordinate system tailored to reduce measurement distortions. These coordinates are expressed as eastings and northings, making it easier to map and measure land, construction sites, or infrastructure projects with high accuracy. This system helps ensure consistency and reliability in spatial data across different applications within the state.
