This triangulation benchmark represents a local geodetic network point within France's surveying infrastructure. As a trig station, it served as a reference point for terrestrial surveying and mapping operations at regional scale. The coordinates place it in northeastern France, within the Moselle department near the Luxembourg border. Triangulation networks of this type form the foundation for accurate positional data in land surveying, cadastral mapping, and engineering projects. Documentation of such benchmarks—including their precise coordinates and elevation—supports continuity of survey control and enables verification of historical measurements. The elevation for this point remains unrecorded in available registry data. Verification and field inspection of surviving markers contribute valuable information to geodetic archives and support modern coordinate system maintenance. Local benchmark networks often retain practical utility for regional surveying work despite the availability of contemporary satellite-based positioning systems.

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.
