LB140

This triangulation point forms part of a local geodetic network in France. Positioned at 49.76534°N, 5.80946°E, it serves as a horizontal control reference for surveying and mapping operations within its coverage area. Triangulation stations of this classification historically provided essential framework for establishing precise positional control across regions prior to modern satellite-based systems. The point's elevation remains undocumented in available records. As a trig station, it would have functioned to intervisible with other network points, enabling surveyors to propagate accurate coordinates across terrestrial measurement campaigns. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remains valuable for establishing continuity of geodetic datums, validating historical survey work, and supporting specialized applications requiring independent horizontal control. Location of nearby towns or landmarks would assist field parties in recovery and inspection efforts.
