Kirk,

this is a complicated story indeed... What changed since https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/31405 is that OGC GeoTIFF 1.1 was published, which mostly fixes issues with vertical CRS, which your CRS uses. So by default GDAL 3.1 or later, when seeing a CompoundCRS write it as GeoTIFF 1.1, and this new GeoTIFF version was the opportunity to remove writing the ProjLinearUnitsInterpCorrectGeoKey=3059 hack, since using GeoTIFF 1.1 is a way to indicate that you're implementing correctly the standard.

If you force writing GeoTIFF 1.0 by adding -co GEOTIFF_VERSION=1.0, GDAL will write the ProjLinearUnitsInterpCorrectGeoKey when needed, and listgeo will show the "Unknown-3059 (Short,1): Unknown-1" geotiff key.

To know if a Geotiff is 1.0 or 1.1 with listgeo , look at the Key_Revision in the 3rd line which will be 1.0 or 1.1

So I assume ArcPro doesn't specifically implement 1.1. Either they implement GeoTIFF themselves, or they use GDAL < 3.1 that hasn't GeoTIFF 1.1 explicit support

Hi,
I've run across an odd issue with GeoTIFFS using custom projections written by GDAL and their interpretation in ArcPro. The specific case is doing a projection for Michigan State Plane North using U.S. survey feet. [insert embarrassing tale of another US agency wanting to always use survey feet regardless of state legislation or that the federal government has been officially metric for a long time]. For a file that should land in the Michigan upper peninsula, ArcPro puts it in New Zealand. It appears the issue is that Arc is interpreting the false easting as meters instead of survey feet. If I do a define projection in ArcPro and make a custom projection, it lands in the right place.

I used an old listgeo from the geotiff library to look at the tags both in the original file and a copy that had define projection applied to see what was different. They looked essentially the same, including having the same value for the false easting. However, the Arc version had an extra tag (3059) that wasn't in the GDAL produced one. An internet search turned up this 13-year old GDAL issue <https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3901>. If I understand it correctly, a bug in GDAL was found that always used meters for the false easting and northing. In addition to fixing that, a tag (3059) was added to indicate this was fixed so software could differentiate broken GDAL output from new output. It looks like Arc is looking for this tag and if it's not there, false easting is assumed to be meters.

A few questions, assuming I interpreted that issue correctly:
1) Why is gdal not adding that 3059 tag? (GDAL command used is below)
2) If it's only supposed to be relevant to GDAL written files, why is Arc writing it?
3) How do I get GDAL to add the tag?

Command used in file creation:
gdal_translate -a_srs 'COMPD_CS[PROJCS["NAD83 / Michigan North",GEOGCS["NAD83",DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7019"]],TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],AUTHORITY["EPSG","6269"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],AUTHORITY["EPSG","4269"]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP"],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",47.08333333333334],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",45.48333333333333],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",44.78333333333333],PARAMETER["central_meridian",-87],PARAMETER["false_easting",26246666.6666667],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["US survey foot",0.304800609601219],AXIS["X",EAST],AXIS["Y",NORTH]],VERTCRS["NAVD88 height (ftUS)",  VDATUM["North American Vertical Datum 1988"],  CS[vertical,1],  AXIS["gravity-related height (H)",up],  LENGTHUNIT["US survey foot",0.304800609601], ID["EPSG",6360]]]' -co TILED=YES -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co PREDICTOR=3 -co BIGTIFF=IF_SAFER input.tif output.tif
