This trig point forms part of a local geodetic network in France, serving as a control station for surveying and mapping operations within its region. Located at coordinates 49.76535°N, 5.81111°E, the benchmark functions as a three-dimensional reference for establishing positions of secondary survey points and infrastructure projects. As a trigonometric station, it historically supported triangulation campaigns essential to cadastral and topographic surveys. Local networks such as this complement France's national geodetic framework, providing intermediate-scale control density where higher-order networks require supplementation. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of verification and documentation efforts for heritage survey marks. Confirming the physical condition, accessibility, and precise coordinates of such benchmarks remains valuable for modern surveying professionals undertaking boundary demarcation, engineering projects, and spatial data validation across the region.

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.
