The system of plane coordinates which has been established by the National Geodetic Survey for defining and stating the positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within the State of Arkansas is to be known and designated as the “Arkansas Coordinate System 1983”.
(a) For the purpose of the use of the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 the state is divided into a “North Zone” and a “South Zone”. (b) The area now included in the following counties shall constitute the North Zone: Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Clay, Cleburne, Conway, Craighead, Crawford, Crittenden, Cross, Faulkner, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Independence, […]
(a) As established for use in the North Zone, the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 shall be named and in any land description in which it is used it shall be designated the “Arkansas Coordinate System 1983, North Zone”. (b) As established for use in the South Zone, the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 shall be named […]
When any tract of land to be defined by a single description extends from one (1) into the other of the coordinate zones established by § 15-21-302, the positions of all points on its boundaries may be referred to either of the two (2) zones, the zone which is used being specifically named in the […]
(a) The plane coordinates of a point on the earth’s surface to be used in expressing the position or location of such a point in the appropriate zone of the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 shall consist of two (2) distances, expressed in meters and decimals of a meter. (b) One (1) of these distances, to […]
(a) For purposes of more precisely defining the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983, the following definition by the National Geodetic Survey is adopted: (1) (A) The Arkansas Coordinate System 1983, North Zone, is a Lambert conformal projection of the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), having standard parallels at north latitudes of thirty-four degrees fifty-six minutes […]
No coordinates based on the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 purporting to define the position of a point on a land boundary shall be presented to be recorded in any public land records or deed records unless such point is within fifteen (15) miles of a triangulation or traverse station established in conformity with the standards […]
The use of the term “Arkansas Coordinate System 1983” on any map, report of survey, or other document shall be limited to coordinates based on the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 as defined in this subchapter.
Wherever coordinates based on the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983 are used to describe any tract of land which in the same document is also described by reference to any subdivision, line, or other corner of the United States Public Land Survey, the description by the coordinates shall be construed as supplemental to the basic description […]
Nothing contained in this subchapter shall require any purchaser or mortgagee to rely on the description, any part of which depends exclusively upon the Arkansas Coordinate System 1983.
