This trig point is part of France's local geodetic network and serves as a control station for surveying and mapping operations. Trig stations of this classification function as fixed reference points for triangulation surveys, providing precise positional control across regions. Located at approximately 50.006°N, 5.822°E in northeastern France, this benchmark contributes to the densification of the national geodetic framework. The point's elevation has not been formally recorded in available documentation. Such local network stations remain valuable for professional surveyors conducting boundary determinations, engineering projects, and cartographic work requiring high-precision coordinate references. Verification and proper documentation of these benchmarks—including confirmation of current condition and accessibility—support the integrity of ongoing surveying operations and facilitate seamless integration with modern GNSS and conventional survey methodologies.

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.
