Title:

Well Program Atlas Grid for New Jersey [New Jersey]

Description:

This grid is based on an old map series called the New Jersey Atlas Sheets and on a reference system based on them called the New Jersey Rectangular Coordinate System. The grid system developed as the ATLAS_GRID does not exist on the atlas sheets but is based on latitude and longitude grids included on the sheets. The original 17 map sheets (numbered from 21 through 37) were produced with grid lines shown every 2 minutes of latitude and every 2 minutes of longitude, producing a regular grid of RECTANGLES. This rectangular grid forms the basis of the reference system. For each sheet, groups of RECTANGLES are aggregated together to form BLOCKS . Each BLOCK in each sheet is given a number from 1 to 45. Within each BLOCK, each RECTANGLE is numbered from 1 to 9. RECTANGLES are further divided into 9 sections called UNITS (numbered 1 to 9) and each UNIT divided into 9 sections called PARTS (also numbered 1 to 9). Each of these smallest sub divisions can be identified by a unique 7 digit code composed of the ATLAS SHEET number, and the number of the BLOCK, RECTANGLE, UNIT and PART. This 7 digit identifier is part of the historical well database and is still used on new permits.
