This trigonometric benchmark represents a control point within France's local geodetic network. Trigonometric stations serve as fundamental reference marks for surveying operations, cartography, and land measurement activities. Located at coordinates 50.13019° N, 5.95402° E, this point contributes to the geometric framework necessary for establishing positions with precision across the region. The trig point's role within the local network supports both historical surveying campaigns and contemporary geospatial work. As with all such reference stations, accurate documentation and periodic verification ensure continued utility for professional surveyors and mapping authorities. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of field visits to establish complete positional records. Confirming the marker's physical condition, accessibility, and precise coordinates remains valuable for maintaining geodetic infrastructure integrity and supporting land administration activities in the surrounding area.

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.
