state plane coordinate system
[coordinate systems] A group of planar coordinate systems based on the division of the United States into more than 130 zones to minimize distortion caused by map projections.
State Plane Coordinate Systems and the U.S. Survey Foot
There is a unit of measure called the "U.S. Survey Foot." It is almost exactly equal to a standard foot, but it's definition is slightly different: ...
The state plane coordinate system came into being during the 1930s. It has been revised several times since then.
State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS).
The SPCS is primarily used in engineering applications by utility companies and local governments for doing accurate surveys.
State Plane Coordinate System
The State Plane Coordinate System is not a map projection. It is a coordinate system that divides all fifty of the U.S. states into over 120 numbered sections.
State Plane Coordinate System (SPC) is a locational reference system developed in the 1930s which provides positional descriptions accurate to 1 foot in 10,000 within the United States.
State Plane Coordinate System - The plane-rectangular coordinate systems established by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (now known as National Ocean Survey), one for each state in the United States, ...
State Plane Coordinate System: System of X,Y coordinates defined by the USGS for each state. Locations are based on the distance from an origin point defined for each state.

The state plane coordinate system (SPCS) is similar to the UTM system in many respects, but it does have some important differences. In the SPCS, each state has its own zone(s).
A new geo-coordinate system conversion function (Edit/Geo Coord Convert/State Plane and LL) to convert between state plane coordinate system and the lat/long system. This function supports both NAD27 and NAD83 for all states in the US.
The coordinate system of our data from MassGIS is the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System with units expressed in Meters. This coordinate system covers the entire state of Massachusetts, and therefore the origin is in Pennsylvania somewhere.
These tiles were reprojected, using Arc/Info GRID (ESRI 1994), to the North Carolina State Plane coordinate system with a sampling interval of 300 feet. Altogether, these 27 tiles consisted of roughly 34 million model points.
After the 1950's, USGS quadrangles were based on the conformal State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS), which is not a projection but is based on two different projections depending on the shape of the region it describes.
To create a planimetric image, that is, to convert the x,y coordinate system into a standard coordinate system (for example, the UTM coordinate system or the State Plane coordinate system), ...
It also provides conversion of State Plane Coordinate System. It is documented with *.txt, *.ps and word processor files as well as hard copy manuals.
It was available via ftp from: as file public/amdahl/gctpv2.dat.
Coordinate System - A fixed reference framework superimposed onto the surface of an area to designate the position of a point within it by using x and y coordinates. The State Plane Coordinate System and the system of latitude and longitude used ...
The Transverse Mercator is the basis for the Universal Transverse Mercator projection, as well as for the State Plane Coordinate System in some of the states of the U.S.A.
- MassGIS data can be divided into two broad categories: base map data and environmental data. The datum for the MassGIS database is North American Datum 1983 (NAD83). The data are registered to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, ...
locations on the map by several methods, including the graticule measurements of longitude and latitude, the township and section method within the Public Land Survey System, and cartesian coordinates in both the State Plane Coordinate System and the ...
