This trigonometric station forms part of France's local geodetic network, serving as a control point for surveying and mapping operations within its region. As a trig point, it establishes precise horizontal and vertical reference data for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and topographic work. Located at coordinates 49.73199°N, 5.82543°E in northeastern France, the station contributes to the wider framework of France's geodetic infrastructure. The elevation value for this benchmark has not been recorded in available documentation. The specific nearby features and immediate locality require ground verification. Recording and verifying such points remains essential for maintaining the integrity of regional survey networks, particularly for surveyors conducting boundary work, infrastructure projects, or precision mapping. Documentation and periodic inspection of these monuments help preserve their utility as stable reference marks for future professional surveying activities.

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.
