The plane coordinate values for a point on the earth’s surface used to express the geographic position or location or point in the appropriate zone of this system shall consist of two distances expressed in U.S. survey feet and decimals of a foot when using the Utah Coordinate System of 1927 and expressed in meters and decimals of a meter when using the Utah Coordinate System of 1983.
(1)
One of these distances, known as the “x-coordinate” or “E-coordinate,” shall give the position in an east-west direction; the other, known as the “y-coordinate” or “N-coordinate,” shall give the position in a north-south direction.
