EPSG:9311

NAD27 / US National Atlas Equal Area

Available transformations
to EPSG:4122
EPSG:4122 - ATS77

Selected transformation

Method: Maritime Provinces polynomial interpolation

Remarks: For reverse transformation see ATS77 to NAD27 (1) (code 1947).

Information source: Survey of New Brunswick.

Revision date: 2019-09-17

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD27

Datum: North American Datum 1927

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: United States Geological Survey, Western Geographic Science Center

Revision date: 2020-03-26

Scope: Statistical analysis.

Remarks: Uses spherical projection formulas. USGS documentation describes sphere as derived from GRS80/WGS 84 ellipsoid but that actually used is Clarke 1866. For 1:1million and smaller scale maps there is no significant difference.

Area of use: United States (USA) - onshore and offshore.

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