Location details

Coordinates: 35.73114, -81.20539
Geometry licence: US-federal-public-domain, county-public-gis-fact-extraction-only
Use scope: Project locator
Scope class: permit_notice_project_point
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Project
Method: official_permit_project_coordinate
Derivation: coordinates_to_point
Precision scope: Exact USACE-published project coordinate, independently shown inside a current official Catawba parcel; not a parcel boundary, building, or work footprint. The primary capture is an indexed-text extract, not fetched PDF bytes.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
USACE gives no bounded positional accuracy and the live legacy PDF body is currently unavailable.

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.

Evidence

Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
