Abstract

Lambert and transverse Mercator map projections are used for topographic maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey, for the American State Plane coordinate system, and for the UTM grid system. The properties and mathematical equations for these projections are summarized. Utility computer programs in FORTRAN that accurately calculate latitude and longitude from Lambert or Mercator coordinates, or the inverse, are presented.
