Rules for this puzzle: No intentional red herrings, no oddball (fishiness) methods of presenting coordinates (UTM, for example, or also having coordinates read backwards), and no leaving off the N32 and W97 just to make it more difficult. There may be more than one layer on this puzzle. Collaboration is allowed and you may ask me for hints after there has been a FTF.
Now for the puzzle...
North is on the left; West is on the right. You will not derive coordinates from the years; however, they aren't completely unhelpful in solving the puzzle.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
