Precision scope: Centroid returned by the Lyon County parcel service for Microsoft-owned tax parcel 015-141-14 (1700 W Hwy 50, 223.18 assessed acres, about 1.1 by 1.2 km). It locates the campus property, not a building, a surveyed campus boundary or the current works extent.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
County GIS and the assessor publish no positional accuracy for the parcel; the centroid represents a property of roughly 1.1 by 1.2 km.
Geometry evidence: 486b9543

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.
