Figure 5-2. Heading information of DA Form 1959 for station "Adams."b. Control point location (fig 5-3). The location of the control point, in UTM grid coordinatesand geographic values, is located on the three lines below the heading information. The control pointwill be plotted using the UTM grid coordinates, therefore, the geographic coordinates can be ignored.By examining the form, (fig 5-3) we can determine that the UTM grid value for control point "Adams"is 287857.217 meters E, 4278450.145 meters N. From what you have learned in Lesson 3, we candetermine that the control point lies 857.217 meters east of grid line 287 and 450.145 meters north ofgrid line 4278. Since we cannot accurately plot these meter measurements on the grid, we must multiplythe meter ground measurements by the conversion factor of .002 (fig 1-1). Therefore, control point"Adams" is located 1.714 centimeters east of grid line 287 and .900 centimeters north of grid line 4278(fig. 5-4). These centimeter measurements are used to plot the control point which you will learn howto do in Lesson 6.Figure 5-3. UTM Grid values and geographic values (DA Form 1959).99
