This tool will allow you to find out the block in which an observation is located, if you
know the latitude and longitude (for example, from a GPS reading). Input the North Latitude
and West Longitude of your observation in the form below, and then click the Submit button.
Coordinates may be input as decimal degrees (for example, 44.59047), degrees and decimal minutes
(for example, 44 48.277), or degrees minutes and decimal seconds (for example 44 48 16.62).
You can also put the Coordinates into the Latitude box in the form (N46 11.307 W93 47.053). This
will be translated to decimal degrees and can be seen directly on the map.
UTM coordinates (15T 481455 4961364) can be placed in the Latitude box. These will be
translated to decimal degrees and can be seen on the map.
Enter the block number to bring up a map for that block.
