Local Cartesian Coordinate Systems

UTM projection Universe Transverse Mercator Conformal projection (shapes are preserved) Cylindrical surface Two standard meridians Zones are 6 degrees of longitude wide

UTM zones

Zone 16 Zone 15

State Plane Coordinate System System of map projections designed for the US It is a coordinate system vs a map projection (such as UTM, which is a set of map projections) Designed to minimize distortions to 1 in 10000
