EPSG:3438

NAD83 / Rhode Island (ftUS)

Available transformations
to EPSG:4152

Selected transformation

Method: NADCON

Grid Files: lahpgn.las lahpgn.los

Remarks: Accuracy 67% confidence level. Uses NADCON method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(HARN) (code 4152) have longitudes positive east. May be taken as approximate transformation NAD83-WGS 84 - see code 1719.

Information source: US Coast & Geodetic Survey www.ngs.noaa.gov NADCON readme file

Revision date: 2023-01-17

Attributes

Unit: US survey foot

Geodetic CRS: NAD83

Datum: North American Datum 1983

Ellipsoid: GRS 1980

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: National Geodetic Survey

Revision date: 2006-12-20

Scope: Engineering survey, topographic mapping.

Remarks: State law defines system in US survey feet. Federal definition is metric - see code 32130. For applications with an accuracy of better than 3 feet, replaced by NAD83(HARN) / SPCS.

Area of use: United States (USA) - Rhode Island - counties of Bristol; Kent; Newport; Providence; Washington.

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