This triangulation benchmark represents a local-network control point situated in France at coordinates 50.03133° N, 5.85895° E. As a trig station, this point was established to serve as a reference for surveying operations and local geodetic networks. Such points form the foundation of detailed mapping and engineering surveys at regional scales. The benchmark's elevation has not been recorded in available documentation. The coordinates place this station in northern France. Triangulation points of this type typically function as fixed reference stations for surveyors conducting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and topographic mapping work. Verification and documentation of local geodetic control points remain valuable for maintaining survey accuracy and institutional continuity. Recording the precise location and condition of such benchmarks supports long-term geodetic infrastructure and ensures reliable reference data for professional surveying activities in the region.

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.
