This trigonometric station is part of France's local geodetic network, serving as a reference point for ground surveys and mapping operations within its jurisdiction. Trigonometric stations of this classification typically provide positional control for cadastral, engineering, and topographic work at regional scales. Located at coordinates 50.01123°N, 5.82006°E in French territory, this point contributes to the broader framework of national geodetic infrastructure. The elevation value remains undocumented in current records. For surveying professionals, verification and documentation of such reference points remain essential. Even where historical metadata is limited, confirming the existence and accessibility of established stations supports continuity of survey work and validates coordinate systems used in local projects. Recovery and proper registration of benchmarks strengthen the geodetic control network available to practitioners.

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.
