EPSG:2256

NAD83 / Montana (ft)

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: NAD83-98.gsb

Remarks: Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(CSRS) (code 4617) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1696.
