Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866
Prime meridian: Greenwich
Data source: EPSG

Revision date: 2022-12-12
Scope: Topographic mapping.
Remarks: Many Alaskan islands were never on NAD27 but rather on independent datums. NADCON conversion program provides transformation from St. Lawrence Island Datum to NAD83 (original 1986 realization) - making the transformation appear to user as if from NAD27.
Area of use: United States (USA) - Alaska - St Lawrence Island.
