re: [MI-L] Question on Projection of TOPO 7.5 min Maps

Hello Tim, The X an Y coordinates you included appear to be valid values for a UTM system.  Those particular coordinates converted to WGS84 Lat/Long would fall on: N 35.364771°, W 105.450965° Or about 25 miles southeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico (that is, assuming those values are meters).  T
