For purposes of more precisely defining the Utah Coordinate Systems, the following special publications are adopted:
(1)
For the Utah Coordinate System of 1927, the manual entitled “The State Coordinate Systems (A Manual for Surveyors),” Special Publication No. 235, and “Plane Coordinate Projection Tables for Utah,” Special Publication No. 277. Both manuals are published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Coast and Geodetic Survey, and provide, in part, the following:

The “Utah Coordinate System of 1927 North Zone” is a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection of the Clarke Spheroid of 1866 having standard parallels at north latitudes 41 degrees 47 minutes and 40 degrees 43 minutes, along which parallels the scale shall be exact.
(ii)
The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 111 degrees 30 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 40 degrees 20 minutes north latitude.
