This trigonometric station forms part of a local geodetic network in France, positioned at coordinates 50.07335°N, 5.86772°E. As a trig point, it was established to serve as a control station for surveying and mapping operations within its coverage area. Such stations provide fundamental reference geometry for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and local cartographic work. The location lies in northern France, within territories where regional surveying frameworks have traditionally relied on networks of precisely positioned marks. Trigonometric points of this classification typically offer intermediate-scale positioning control between national datum monuments and detailed local surveys. Documentation and verification of benchmark positions remain valuable for practitioners requiring reliable geodetic data. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of conducting field visits to establish complete specifications. Surveyors and engineers planning work in this region should verify current monument condition and accessibility before field operations commence.

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.
