Abstract

The NGS Survey Control Map provides a map of the US which allows you to find and display geodetic survey control points stored in the database of the National Geodetic Survey and access the geodetic control data sheets associated with the points. Data sheets are in ASCII format and show precise latitude and longitude, orthometric heights, and gravity data for individual survey control points.

Title: NGS Survey Control Map
Short Name: ngs_survey_control_map
Status: In Work
Publication Date: 2002-05-07
Abstract:

The NGS Survey Control Map provides a map of the US which allows you to find and display geodetic survey control points stored in the database of the National Geodetic Survey and access the geodetic control data sheets associated with the points. Data sheets are in ASCII format and show precise latitude and longitude, orthometric heights, and gravity data for individual survey control points.

Purpose:

The NGS Survey Control Map provides detailed information on the NGS survey control points located throughout the nation.

Notes:

1313

Supplemental Information:

The map includes a GoTo button for zooming to: PID, LAT/LON, COUNT, CITY, USGS QUAD, CORS SITE, FBN MARK, and AIRPORT. The retrievable data consists of NGS viewable Datasheets or SDTS.
