BEARINGS ARE BASED ON THE WYOMING COORDINATE SYSTEM NAD 1983, EAST CENTRAL ZONE. DISTANCES ARE ADJUSTED TO SURFACE BY THE COMBINED SCALE FACTOR OF 1.000000.

Ahhh....

This came from one of my draftsman.;-)

You may want to confirm, but I'm pretty sure that scale factor needs one more zero.

Next time you hand him some field data, tell him you went ahead and adjusted it all by a factor of 1.000000
