EPSG:6849 NAD83(CORS96) / Oregon Pendleton-La Grande zone (ft)

Projected system (Transverse Mercator) in use: USA - Oregon - Pendleton-La Grande. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.

EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
