This is a very large jpeg file (~ 50 MB). Do not try to open & map in your web browser. It will be maddeningly slow. * Once the map is on your computer, open it and navigate around using your mouse. * Answer the following questions concerning the PowerPoint presentation and the Lafayette map. jraphic Maps 3. Part A: Latitude and Longitude 1. Watch the two videos on Folio about latitude and longitude (Movie 1 and Movie 2). When you watch videos on Folio, it will log that you watched them. If you don’t watch the videos, your pre-lab assignment will be considered incomplete. Sign your initials here that you watched both videos: e 2. Look at the global projection map on page 19 of the PowerPoint presentation. What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the following points? Make sure you write the coordinates in the correct format. 360 Point A: _ 00 40 3. What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the northeast corner of the Lafayette, GA, map? e Write out the complete coordinates as degrees, minutes, seconds and (e.g. 99°57'00"N). e You must end the coordinate with the appropriate hemisphere (N, E, S, or W). e You must write the coordinate in this format: latitude, longitude. 2442’ B Yo S5 W 4. What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the southeast corner of the map? 22 W.o0 1 W I 5. What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the graticule (-) just to the southwest of Blaylock Peak (central part of the map)? : Al b A1) {()\ \" A) (O 11 150 )
Part B: UTM Coordinate System \ 6. What does UTM stand for? __ | 7. How many zones are in the UTM coordinate system? oV 8. How wide is each zone in degrees of longitude? lo C 9. UTM Zone 1 begins at which line of longitude? | 30° 10. Which UTM zones cover the continent of South America? . 2 11. Which UTM zones cover the contiguous United States? 12. Which UTM zones cover Georgia? 13. What value is assigned to the central meridian in each UTM zone? 14. The two measurements below are required to describe the location of a point in the UTM coordinate system? Define these two measurements. C NSO \ YO W\ e Easting: —r A0 OX = Loy Lroe \ . Northing: —- . MOV ac AArce ' e \\OV—\‘}\ 15. Width of UTM zones at the Equator. a. The circumference of the Earth at the Equator is 40,075 kilometers. There are 60 UTM zones. How wide : is each UTM zone at the Equator in meters? Show all your work. Round to the nearest whole number. 2]0.0T5¥ W (L@;.?{‘_‘r-} ((L(“O} = lolp1. AV i d easting value of the central meridian, b. Based on your answer to (a) above, and knowing the stgndar _ what is theyminimum easting value and what is the maximum easting value for any UTM zone at the Equator? e Minimum easting value. Show all your work. e Maximum easting value. Show all your work. 1N o223, A5 00,008+ ¥ (LC%L) SO0 T+

Write out the full UTM Northing value for the following shorthand coordinates. a. b. C. 3820: ST74; s Of the two northing coordinates above, (a or b) which one is closer to the Equator? How many meters separate the two northing values above? Part C: Reading x-y Grids and Determining UT Coordinates 18. Refer to the grid to the right. Pay attention to the horizontal axis and the vertical axis, as well as the compass arrow (North is the top of the page). This is just like plotting an x-y coordinate graph Values of Horizontal increase toward the Values of Vertical increase toward the Grid values increase in increments of N \ ) What are the following coordinates? Write your answers like this: Horizontal value, Vertical value. —10.\00 50 Horizontal 200

This is a superb video that explains how to find locations on a top using UTM coordinates and a UTM grid overlay. Initial here that you watched the movie 21. Download and open the map on Folio titled Lafayette Cropped Points Grid. Overlain on the map isa UTM grid overlay, the same as the one you will use in lab. The UTM grid overlay allows you to pinpoint the UTM coordinates of any location to within 25 meters. Notice that in each 100m?2 box is a small black dot. This dot represents the midpoint of each box (50 m from each side of a small box). Write the full UTM coordinates of the following points. a PointA: o506, 0N mE, 2, 84 Q0 mN b Point B: 5oV, 000 mE 3,844, 00 my c. PointC: __~LL (L‘ >00 mE, >, “‘ Y., fl-\‘ _mN d.
