| Abstract/Description: | This document contains the history, development, best practice methods, and technical creation of the Oregon Coordinate Reference System (OCRS) for the State of Oregon. The OCRS is based on a series of 'low distortion' map projections (zones) whose parameters have been defined such that lineal distortion is very minimal for certain geographic areas. Each zone has been optimized by design, to be useful for surveying, engineering, GIS, and cartographic mapping, wherein distances computed between points on the grid coordinate system will closely represent the distances physically measured between the same points on the ground within published zone tolerances. It is important to realize that rectangular grid coordinates for all of the OCRS map projections may now be calculated with formulas through computer programs that would have seemed too complicated in the past, but now are considered to be a routine exercise. These same computer programs may also allow users to complete transformations, moving the coordinates of a point or group of points from one coordinate system referenced to one frame/datum/realization, into coordinates referenced to a different frame/datum/realization for a given epoch. While having numerous state coordinate systems may seem cumbersome at first, actual user application through highly precise GNSS and terrestrial measurement devices provide for a level of measurement accuracy that is beneficial to all mapping professionals. | |
