This trigonometric station comprises part of France's local geodetic network infrastructure. Triangulation (trig) points of this classification serve as fundamental control stations for survey work, establishing precise horizontal and vertical reference data across regions. Located at coordinates 49.67532° N, 5.87020° E in French territory, this benchmark contributes to the framework necessary for cadastral mapping, engineering projects, and topographic surveys at local scales. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of field verification and documentation efforts. Surveyors and geodetic professionals rely on such control points to validate measurements and establish spatial accuracy for subsequent work. Locating, confirming, and recording the complete specifications of existing benchmarks—particularly those from local networks—remains valuable for maintaining continuity in surveying practice and ensuring the reliability of spatially referenced datasets across regions.

Geodetic context in France

The national geodetic reference in France is maintained by Institut Géographique National (IGN). The active datum is RGF93 / Lambert-93. Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in France you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from osm_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
