GIS 6005 Lab 2: Coordinate Systems





My chosen area of interest is my current home state of Nevada. I chose NAD 1983 UTM Zone 11N for this map as this is the standard projection I have used in my volunteer experience with the BLM in Nevada. Nevada fits virtually perfectly within Zone 11. There are State Plane options, but the State Plane projections are divided into East, Central, and West Nevada. UTM Zone 11N is more appropriate for a single map of the entire state.
