About This Item

Meades Ranch in Kansas is designated as the geodetic base point for the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) at 39°13'26.686?N, 98°32'30.506?W (39.224079, -98.541807). This is at or very near the geographic center of the forty-eight contiguous U.S. states. The base point was the reference point for almost all land survey measurements in the United States from 1927 until the establishment of the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84). NAD 27 was based on the Clarke Ellipsoid of 1866.

    Took a little longer to find a home than I planned - soooo many micros. The up side is it wasn't in GC188PV when it got muggled. :-)

    When we salvaged what was left of Honorary Member, we weren't able to find this geocoin... Hopefully someone who was at this cache between our maintenance and Indiana Johnson's discovery of it took it and forgot to log it.
