State Plane Coordinates (SPC) (SPC)

A map projection that measures distance in feet. By providing an SPC easting (x) and northing (y), the state name, and the zone number, any location in the United States can be identified by a unique coordinate value. SPC Zone boundaries follow state and county boundaries. Florida, due to its size and shape is divided into three SPC zones, north, east, and west. Volusia County is entirely within the East Zone. State Plane Coordinates are admirably suited to the needs of the local land surveyor and are widely used for public works, land surveys, and for Geographic Information Systems.
