Module 2 - Coordinate Systems

 


Choosing the NAD 1983 Stateplane Maryland FIPS 1900 (Meters) coordinate system for the State of Maryland map is about precision and local alignment. NAD 1983 is widely used in North America, and by focusing on Maryland's Stateplane system (FIPS 1900), the map becomes tailored to the state's unique geography. This ensures accurate and precise location representation, meeting local standards.

Adhering to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code 1900 adds consistency and regulatory compliance. By using the FIPS code for Maryland, the coordinate system aligns with local standards, promoting seamless integration of spatial data with other datasets.
