GPS Coördinates New Mexico Foray Sites   (sg2)
This page contains GPS coördinates for meeting places and foray sites.
  • The following locations include coördinates in one or more of these formats:
  • UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator)
  • Latitude / Longitude in decimal Degrees
  • Latitude / Longitude in Degrees & decimal Minutes
  • Latitude / Longitude in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
  • Visit the GPS/GIS Links page for more information.
  • I have borrowed the Los Alamos area location code(s) from the Jarmie, Rogers, Balice research studies.
    Formats:
  • UTM = zone,easting,northing,elev in metres
  • Decimal Degree Lat/Long = +lat-long+elev in ft/
    Datum:
    Unless otherwise noted, coördinates refer to the NAD83 / WGS84 datum. (Note, however, that many NM & CO USGS maps still use NAD27.)
    Sandia Grid:
    Sandia location labels refer to a grid based on minutes of lat/long (nad83).
