This is a Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) 1km Square Identifier polygon shapefile for the State of Florida. This dataset represents a combination of the MGRS 1km Square Identifier polygons that intersect the State of Florida for the specific Grid Zone Designators 16R and 17R. The polygons are defined by UTM zone MGRS regions, with subdivisions into MGRS 1km Square Identifiers. The MGRS is the geocoordinate standard used by US Armed Forces and NATO militaries for locating points on the earth. The MGRS is derived from the UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) grid system and the UPS (Universal Polar Stereographic) grid system, but uses a different labeling convention. A single alpha-numeric value references an area that is unique for the entire earth. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. Please Note: This dataset is in the FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN projection. |
