This triangulation station forms part of a local geodetic network in France, situated at coordinates 50.02290° N, 5.85246° E. As a trig point, this benchmark served as a control station for surveying and mapping operations within its network area. The point's role was to establish accurate horizontal positional reference for regional cadastral surveys and cartographic work. Trig stations of this classification typically occupied elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate intervisibility with adjacent network points. The elevation data for this particular station has not been recorded in available documentation. Given its position in northeastern France, it likely contributed to national mapping and boundary demarcation efforts characteristic of local survey networks. Documentation and verification of such reference points remain valuable for historical survey research, land administration, and understanding the development of national geodetic infrastructure. Surveyors conducting work in this region may reference such points for consistency with existing cadastral frameworks.

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.
