GIS 6002 Module 2 Lab

 


My area of interest  for this lab was the state of Michigan. The state of Michigan has more than one State Plane available; it covers UTM zones 15, 16band, and 17. The reason other options are less appropriate is because Michigan has an unusual shape, extending diagonally from southeast to northwest. The Michigan GeoRef Coordinate System is based on an Oblique Mercator projection, which is specifically designed to minimize distortion for areas with this kind of shape. It covers the entire state, including its territorial waters, in a single zone.
