This trigonometric benchmark is part of a local geodetic network in France, positioned at coordinates 50.05503° N, 5.86112° E. As a trig point, it served historically as a fixed reference station for surveying operations, contributing to regional mapping and cadastral surveys. The point's classification within a local network indicates its application to area-specific geodetic work rather than national-scale triangulation. The absence of recorded elevation data represents a documentation gap that warrants field verification. Surveyors conducting work in this region should confirm the point's current condition, accessibility, and precise vertical datum. Reestablishing such missing parameters enhances the utility of legacy benchmark networks for contemporary surveying practice and validates their continued relevance in modern coordinate systems. Documentation improvements strengthen France's distributed geodetic infrastructure.

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.
