54.239 Sole system after December 31, 1989. Sec. 9. The Michigan coordinate system of 1927 shall not be used after December 31, 1989. The Michigan coordinate system of 1983 shall be the sole system used after December 31, 1989. History: 1964, Act 9, Eff. Aug. 28, 1964 ;– Am. 1988, Act 154, Imd. Eff. June […]
Section 54.233 – Use of Coordinates.
54.233 Use of coordinates. Sec. 3. The coordinates for a point on or near the earth’s surface that are used to express the geographic position of that point in the appropriate zone of this system shall consist of 2 distances. Each distance shall be expressed in United States survey feet (1 foot = 12/39.37 meters) […]
Section 54.234 – Tract Extending From 1 Coordinate Zone Into Another Coordinate Zone; Reference to Boundaries.
54.234 Tract extending from 1 coordinate zone into another coordinate zone; reference to boundaries. Sec. 4.

Section 54.231a – Definitions.
54.231a Definitions. Sec. 1a. As used in this act: (a) “Coordinates” means the x and y plane rectangular coordinate values computed for a geographic position from a pair of mutually perpendicular axes. These axes are the meridian and parallel, defined in sections 5 and 5a, whose intersection defines the origin of each zone. (b) “FGCC” […]
