Those other guys probably solved your problems,
but I would have another look at the Dimension
Juggling Tutorial unless you *like* sitting
around for hours drinking coffee. :-)

If you really care about that many significant figures, you need to
declare these as doubles, not floats:

IDL> dx = 0.00833333333333333333333333333
IDL> print,dx,format="(F25.21)"
0.008333333767950534821
IDL> dx = 0.00833333333333333333333333333d
IDL> print,dx,format="(F25.21)"
0.008333333333333333218

I don't have the data set, but you might try

ulx = -99.99583333333334D0
uly = 39.99583333333333D0
dx = 0.00833333333333D0
dy = 0.00833333333333D0

lat = DBLARR(4800,6000)

As it is, you are not getting the precision you think you are.

Or, it might be a pixel corner/center thing.

The FOR FOR...ENDFOR ENDFOR will allow you to drink some coffee, but
the MAP_PATCH operation with this image will allow you to get a tennis
match in. IDL's PolyWarp and Poly_2D will get the remapping done in
minutes.
