Michigan meridian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Michigan meridian is the principal meridian (or north–south line) used as a reference in the Michigan Survey, the survey of the U.S. state of Michigan in the early 19th century. It is located at 84 degrees, 21 minutes and 53 seconds west longitude[1] at its northern terminus at Sault Ste. Marie, and varies very little from that line down the length of the state.[citation needed]
