This trigonometric benchmark is part of a local geodetic network in France, located at coordinates 50.12154° N, 5.91741° E. As a trig point, it served to establish horizontal control and support accurate topographic surveying within its regional framework. The elevation has not been recorded in available documentation. Trigonometric stations of this classification function as reference points for surveyors conducting boundary demarcation, infrastructure development, and cartographic work. This point's integration into a localized network indicates its role supporting survey operations at a regional scale rather than national primary triangulation. Verification and proper documentation of such benchmarks remains valuable for surveyors who may reference or reoccupy the station. Records of coordinates, accessibility, physical condition, and surrounding landmarks enable efficient fieldwork and validate historical survey data. Continued cataloging of these points preserves geodetic infrastructure integrity and supports continued survey practices.

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.
