In what coordinate system is El Paso County geospatial data?
Most El Paso County GIS data is projected, with feet measurements, into the Colorado Central Zone State Plane coordinate system in the 1983 North American Datum (NAD83). This coordinate system reduces the amount of area and shape distortion that is common to other global-based projections. Therefore, measurements such as acreage, and overall map shapes are as close to reality as possible.
