Geodetic Survey Section
A geodetic survey determines the precise position of permanent points on the earth's surface, taking into account the shape, size, and curvature of the earth. It is used when areas or distances involved are so great that results of desired accuracy and precision cannot be obtained by ordinary or plane surveying. Geodetic surveying is now being done with the use of orbiting satellites that are positioned 12,500 miles above the surface of the earth.
Horizontal and Vertical Control Index
Horizontal and Vertical Control Maps
Description:
Densification of the federal network for the use of surveyors and private industry.
Description:
These projects determine the elevation of bench marks - (usually horizontal control stations) on the North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88).
List by County:
Springfield - completed 1996

Missouri Geographic Reference System Areas of Coverage

Description:
A HARN (High Accuracy Reference Network) is a statewide or regional upgrade in accuracy of NAD 83 coordinates using Global Positioning System (GPS) observations. HARNs were observed to support the use of GPS by Federal, state, and local surveyors, geodesists, and many other applications. The cooperative network upgrading program began in Tennessee in 1986. The last field observations were completed in Indiana in September 1997 after horizontally upgrading some 16,000 survey stations to A-order or B-order status. Horizontal A-order stations have a relative accuracy of 5 mm +/- 1:10,000,000 relative to other A-order stations. Horizontal B-order stations have a relative accuracy of 8 mm +/- 1:1,000,000 relative to other A-order and B-order stations Of these 16,000 stations, NGS has committed to maintaining about 1,400 survey stations, named the Federal Base Network, and the various states will maintain the remainder.
Status:
Adjustment of the Missouri HARN was completed in March 1998

Description:
Destruction of survey monuments is a violation of Missouri law. The Land Survey Program will replace monuments that are in danger of being damaged or destroyed.
How to Report:
Report any monuments that may be in danger of destruction to the Program at 573-368-2300.
An Electronic Distance Measuring (EDM) calibration will allow the operator
to verify the EDM system constant and scale factor. If the EDM, Prisms,
Tribrach are in calibration and the correct atmospheric corrections
are applied, the results will be reflected in the returned report. If
the system constant and/or the scale factor are not within the prescribed
limits, the report will notify the sender. To access the information
for an Electronic Distance Measuring (EDM) Calibration Baseline, click
the appropriate baseline location on the map below.
Land Survey Program
EDM Baselines
The River Valley EDM Baseline has experienced some movements in the monuments. The St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic is monitoring the situation and will report if the movement has stopped and will recommend a course of action. The Land Survey Program will calibrate this baseline once stability has been achieved.
