Problem (5)

Go to the NGS Survey Mark Datasheet site and select to Search By Station Name(s).

Find point Kollath in Wisconsin. You'll see six points with Kollath in their names. Get the datasheet for the one named Kollath alone without an RM # or Az Mk suffix.

Part (a) From the Current Survey Control section, record the following information:

 Datum/Adjustment   ____________
 Latitude   _______________
 Longitude   _______________ 

 

Part (b) From the Superseded Survey Control section, record the following information for the NAD 27 datum: 

 Latitude   _______________
 Longitude   _______________ 

 

Part (c) Go to NGS NCAT page. Using NCAT, convert the NAD 27 geodetic coordinates to the datum/adjustment in Part (a) and record the reults below.

 Latitude   _______________
 Longitude   _______________ 

 

Part (d) Do the NCAT geodetic coordinates of Part (c) match the Current Survey Control geodetic coordinates from Part (a)? Why or why not?
