California State Plane Coordinate System In the State Plane Coordinate System, each state has its own zone (s) The number of zones in a state is determined by the area the state covers, and ranges from one for a small state such as Rhode Island to as many as seven, as we have in California
State Plane Coordinate System (SPS or SPCS) Each state is divided into "zones" as needed The zones are defined by state and county boundaries and will run north south or east west, which ever is better to reduce distortion within the zone
USA State Plane Zones NAD83 - ArcGIS U S State Plane Zones (NAD 1983) represents the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) zones for the North American Datum of 1983 in the United States
4. 3 The California Coordinate System The State Plane Coordinate System was established to provide a means for transferring the geodetic positions of monumented points to plane coordinates that would permit the use of these monuments in plane surveying over relatively large areas without introducing significant error
State Plane Note: Los Angeles County was in CALIFORNIA ZONE VII FIPSZONE: 0407 for NAD27 ZONE VII was eliminated for NAD83 with Los Angeles County being included with ZONE V

THE CALIFORNIA COORDINATE SYSTEM - Keith W. Spencer The state plane coordinates of a point in any zone shall be based upon the plane coordinates of published horizontal control stations or derived from published horizontal control stations of the USC GS and the NGS or their successors
4 Survey Datums - Caltrans The official geodetic reference network of the State of California is the California Spatial Reference Network (CSRN) The CSRN consists of all NSRS monuments in or near the State of California and any other monuments with data published by the California Spatial Reference Center (CSRC)
