Question

What is the name of the projection (not the coordinate system) used by the feature classes in the Oregon geodatabase? What are the central meridian and the standard parallel(s)? Does it use the equator for the latitude of origin?

Answer 1

Answer:

LAMBERT CONIC CONFORMAL,-120 30 0.000, 1st Standard Parallel: 43 00 0.000 ,2nd Standard Parallel:  45 30 0.000

Explanation:

LAMBERT CONIC CONFORMAL,

Central Meridian: -120 30 0.000,

1st Standard Parallel: 43 00 0.000

2nd Standard Parallel:  45 30 0.000

LAMBERT CONIC CONFORMAL uses the false origin as its Latitude of Projection's origin at 41 45 0.000

The origin was shifted 400, 000 meters west to put the whole state in a positive quadrant.
