Location details

Coordinates: 35.89713, -78.87868
Geometry licence: public-record-source-terms
Use scope: Reviewed site locator
Scope class: official_tax_parcel_centroid
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: official_statewide_parcel_service_centroid_of_operator_address_parcel
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Centroid of Durham County tax parcel 0738519437 at 99 T W Alexander Drive, as published in the NC OneMap statewide parcel service (11.94 geodesic acres, about 222 by 297 m). The point lies inside the parcel. It locates the data-center property, not a building footprint or surveyed boundary.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The statewide parcel compilation publishes no positional accuracy for county parcel polygons; the point represents a 12-acre property, and the building position within it is not published.
Geometry evidence: 817f6511

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
