This trigonometric station forms part of a local geodetic network in France, positioned at 50.03932° N, 5.86351° E. As a trig point, it served historical and ongoing surveying operations as a control station for establishing horizontal positional accuracy across regional mapping campaigns. The coordinates place this station in northeastern France. The elevation remains unrecorded in available documentation. Trig stations of this classification typically functioned within hierarchical survey networks, providing foundational reference geometry for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and topographic mapping. The local network designation indicates this point operated within a defined operational area rather than forming part of the national primary geodetic framework. Verification and formal documentation of such reference points remain valuable for surveying professionals, particularly when conducting precision work or reconciling historical survey data. Even where elevation data is absent, horizontal positional records contribute to understanding regional geodetic infrastructure development and support quality assurance in modern surveying practice.

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.
