Abstract:  This data contains a set of geodetic control stations maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. Each geodetic control station in this dataset has either a precise Latitude/Longitude used for horizontal control or a precise Orthometric Height used for vertical control, or both. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) serves as the Nation's depository for geodetic data. The NGS distributes geodetic data worldwide to a variety of users. These geodetic data include the final results of geodetic surveys, software programs to format, compute, verify, and adjust original survey observations or to convert values from one geodetic datum to another, and publications that describe how to obtain and use Geodetic Data products and services.

Purpose: Provide a base of reference for latitude, longitude and height throughout the United States.

Process step:
Description: The National Geodetic Survey produces geodetic data. Geodetic data comprise the results of geodetic surveys to determine, among other things, latitude, longitude, height, scale, and orientation control. The National Geodetic Survey original field survey project observations and final reports are accessioned into records system of the National Archives and Records Administration of the USA These surveys provide information valuable for a variety of uses in the mapping, charting and surveying community. The NGS' final product is the geodetic data sheet. Geodetic data sheets are comprehensive summaries of all published information for a given geodetic reference point, including: the geographic position and/or height based on the current reference datum, condition of the survey mark when it was last visited, a description of where the point is located and how to reach it, and an explanation of the terms used in the data sheet. In support of these geodetic data, the NGS provides software, publications, and various user services, including geodetic advisor program, instrument calibration, surveying standards, and technical workshops. This dataset contains certain information extracted from the above mentioned data sheet.
