I just started trying to use some open data from the USDA (I'm a front end developer, so I'm not too familiar with how to work with data that hasn't in a fairly straight forward format yet), but I'm not sure what these coordinates are under geometry->rings (they're not lat/lng). I was wondering if anyone could tell me what sort of coordinate system they're using so I can figure out how to convert them. All points should be within Colorado. Thanks!
I think I found a possible answer to your question here:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/9442/arcgis-coordinate-system
So, the coordinates you received in a format like
...
"geometry": {
"rings": [
[
[
-11804245.4265, // easting
4495129.5014000013 // northing
],
[
-11804198.783199999,
4488979.7647999972
], ...
appear to be "Eastings" and "Norhings", coordinates given in meters , based on a Mercator like projection (in this case: wkid 387, sometimes referred to under its old name: wkid 102100). The coordinates for any point of the world fall into the following range:
Xmin: -20037700 XMax: 20037700 // easting
Ymin: -30241100 YMax: 30241100 // northing
