Example 2

Find the UTM reference for the NE corner of Neenah, WI, USGS quadrangle (7.5 minute).
Geographic coordinates (read from map corner):

A. Set-up

1. Zone number: 88° ÷ 6 = 14.7,
   rounding downward 14.7 becomes 14
   30-14 = 16 (zone number).
2. Central meridian for zone 16: 87°
3. Angular difference (AD)
   point 88° 22' 30"
   CM   87  00  00
   ------------------
   AD   1  22  30

B. UTM Determination

1. Locate table for Lat. = 44° 15' 00" (see figure 17)
2. Locate line for = 1° 22' 30" (AD)
3. Point is west of CM (88° 22' 30" is greater than 87°)
4. Easting (from table) = 390, 221.1 meters
   rounded to: 390,220 meters (10-meter precision)
5. Northing (from table) = 4,900,343.2 meters
   rounded to: 4,900,340 meters (10-meter precision)

C. Result: UTM reference = Z16E390221 N4900340.
