EPSG:26955

NAD83 / Colorado South

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: AB_CSRS.DAC

Remarks: This gridded difference file AB_CSRS.DAC will need to be renamed to AB_CSRS.gsb to run in some software suites. Formats identical, but AB file is provincial fit only. Can be taken as an approximate transformation NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1702.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD83

Datum: North American Datum 1983

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 1995-06-02

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Remarks: State law defines system in US survey feet. See code 2233 for equivalent non-metric definition. For applications with an accuracy of better than 1m, replaced by NAD83(HARN) / SPCS.

Area of use: United States (USA) - Colorado - counties Alamosa; Archuleta; Baca; Bent; Conejos; Costilla; Crowley; Custer; Dolores; Hinsdale; Huerfano; Kiowa; La Plata; Las Animas; Mineral; Montezuma; Montrose; Otero; Ouray; Prowers; Pueblo; Rio Grande; Saguache; San Juan; San Miguel.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (X,Y). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
