This triangulation station represents a local geodetic network point established to support surveying and mapping operations in France. Positioned at coordinates 50.06062° N, 6.12312° E, the point serves the traditional role of trigonometric stations: providing accurate spatial reference data for regional survey work and establishing control networks. Located in northeastern France, this benchmark contributes to the broader framework of French geodetic infrastructure, which integrates local surveys with national positioning systems. Triangulation points of this classification were historically essential for establishing horizontal control before modern satellite positioning became standard. No elevation has been recorded in the registry. The point's preservation and verification remain valuable for confirming historical survey data, validating legacy measurements, and supporting specialized surveying applications that require multiple reference sources. Documentation of such benchmarks aids in understanding regional survey methodology and maintaining geodetic continuity across administrative boundaries.

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.
