Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). 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 United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
