A Quick Guide to Using UTM Coordinates
If you just run a bunch of digits together with no spacing or units, you run the risk of having someone else misunderstand what coordinate format you are using. In the case of UTM, I suggest writing "m E" for "meters East" after the Easting, and "m N" for "meters North" after the Northing.

r/gis on Reddit: Using northing/easting arc GIS.
January 30, 2024 -
Hello folks,
I’m a student in a college program and have been given the location of some soil Borings with only northing and easting coordinates.
I was wondering how I would go about changing this and using it to display the boring sites on a map for easy visualization. My school has arc GIS (or arc pro or something like that) .
Is there any video series or instructional I could use as a reference or aid in this task?
Thanks everyone appreciate you.

You will need the coordinate system that those coordinates are based on.

You can absolutely using State Plane coordinates in both ArcMap and ArcPro. You can also convert them to a different coordinate system. I actually specialize in soil borings. Very easy, beginner friendly stuff. There are other ways to do this, but here is an example. I am just now learning pro, so these are instructions for ArcMap, but I am 100% sure you can do the same in pro, though a few of the later steps may look a bit different. Open Excel. Call the first column NAME, the second column EASTING, and the second column NORTHING. Remember, easting is the x coordinate, northing is the y coordinate. Under the NAME column list the name of each boring, for example B-1, B-2, B-3. Whatever designation each point has been given. Then enter the corresponding NORTHING and EASTING to each point in their respective columns. You do not necessarily have to use these names for the columns, you just need to keep track of which is X and which is Y. If you would like to add more information to your table, you can add as many additional columns as you would like. But you can do this later in the attribute table if you prefer. The following method also works with pretty much any coordinated system. It's a quick and easy way to create point features when you have already been provided the exact coordinates. Once you are done, save the file in the format "Text (Tab Delimited)". This will not work if you do not use this format. Put the text file in your working directory. Now, figure out which specific State Plane coordinate system the points are based on. This will be important in just a bit. Open your document, and look for your text file in the catalog tab. Right click, and select create feature class from the drop down menu, and then select From XY Table. Specify EASTING as X field, NORTHING as Y field. Unless you have a column for elevation data, you can leave Z field blank. Hit the button that says Coordinate System of Input Coordinates. Select the coordinate system that corresponds to your state plane coordinates. In the output section, specify where and what format you want to save your data and then select okay. Open the resulting featureclass or shapefile and check to see that the points appear to be in the correct location. The quickest way to do this is to open up a base map. If it appears in the middle of the ocean, or a rainforest, you have likely chosen the wrong coordinate system. You can then export the data, and select the option to export the coordinates in the same system as the data frame. Alternatively you can change the coordinates system of your map to the same coordinate system as your points. There are also tools to change projection, but this way is usually faster for me . Hope that helps.

r/gis on Reddit: How to georeference coordinates that are only labled as "Northing" and "Easting"
October 16, 2023 -
Hi. I received a CSV file with a list of points labeled as "Northing" and "Easting." The Northing values are approximately 25000. The Easting values are approximately 1000000. I have only worked with latitude and longitude values. I have no idea what this system is being used. Do I have enough information to be able to plot these in QGIS or another geospatial application? If so, how would I do that?

It's most likely a State Plane coordinate system ( wiki ), which means that it's a CRS specifically designed for a US state and could be defined in US Survey feet/international feet/meters. Each point you have is defined as 'northerly of Y latitude' and 'easterly of X meridian'/longitude. Please note that some states have a north/south or east/west version because they're too large to make a single CRS accurate across the whole state. If you know your state/location within state, it should be pretty simple to figure out whether its meters or feet by looking at the coordinate values. (The international vs US foot difference is harder to figure, as a mile measured in US feet is 0.1ft longer, so the discrepancy gets bigger as you go further north/east.) If you can't get ESRI/QGIS to interpret that, NOAA's NCAT tool is really useful for coordinate conversion (especially between different-aged datums). One note of warning: if your file was produced without metadata, there is a chance that it uses the 'wrong' units for your location or uses and arbitrary northing/easting definition. In that case you'd have to go back to the people who produced it.

March 24, 2022 - Similarly, northings correspond with the y values in the Cartesian coordinate system, or the north/south "vertical" line in that compass rose. But there's more than one coordinate system for designating specific places on the Earth's surface. So before you can use northings and eastings correctly, you need to know which coordinate system you're using them with.

Howdy,
As the title states, I'm trying to figure out how to get Northing and Easting to XY points. I have Northing and Easting in FT. I've tried to right-click the .csv to display XY data but I get a warning (attached below). The fields are set to double. Any ideas on how to get points from my data? Thanks!

Can you post an example of the coordinates from your csv file? By the looks of it, you're attempting to add latitude and longitude values in wgs84 so the values in the csv should be in degrees

WGS84 uses degrees, so it is not the correct choice if coordinate system. You likely want to use a UTM projection.
