Alternatively, if you want to bound the system to (x1, y1, x2, y2)=(-500000, 0, 500000, 1000000), the
required line is:

UTM Zone 1 (NAD 83)- bounded

coordsys 8,33,7,-177,0,0.9996,500000,0, -500000, 0,

500000, 1000000

To customize the system using both of these modifications, the line is:

UTM Zone 1 (NAD 83)

coordsys 8,33,7,-177,0,0.9996,500000,0, 7, 0.5, -

0.866, 0, 0.866, 0.5, 0, -500000, 0, 500000,
