1. The plane coordinates of a point on the earths surface, to be used in expressing the location of the point in the appropriate zone, must consist of two distances, expressed in: (a) Feet and decimals of a foot under the Nevada Coordinate System of 1927; or (b) Meters and decimals of a meter under the Nevada Coordinate System of 1983. One of these distances, to be known as the x-coordinate, must give the position in an east-and-west direction; the other, to be known as the y-coordinate, must give the position in a north-and-south direction. 2. These coordinates must be made to conform to the values of the plane rectangular coordinates for the monumented stations of the North American Horizontal Geodetic Control Network, as published by the National Geodetic Survey of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the federal agency which succeeds it, and whose plane coordinates have been computed on the systems defined in this chapter. Any such station may be used for connecting a survey to either Nevada coordinate system. 3. As used in this section: (a) Foot means the United States Survey Foot. (b) Meter means exactly 39.37 inches.
