USGS QUAD - GRAND PASS (1978)
*CURRENT SURVEY CONTROL
NAD 83(1986)- 39 11 45. (N) 093 23 22. (W) SCALED
NAVD 88 - 214.483 (meters) 703.68 (feet) ADJUSTED
GEOID HEIGHT- -32.57 (meters) GEOID99
DYNAMIC HT - 214.352 (meters) 703.25 (feet) COMP
MODELED GRAV- 980,011.6 (mgal) NAVD 88
VERT ORDER - FIRST CLASS II
The horizontal coordinates were scaled from a topographic map and have
an estimated accuracy of +/- 6 seconds.
The orthometric height was determined by differential leveling
and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1991.
WARNING-Repeat measurements at this control monument indicate possible
vertical movement.
The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.
The dynamic height is computed by dividing the NAVD 88
geopotential number by the normal gravity value computed on the
Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 80) ellipsoid at 45
degrees latitude (g = 980.6199 gals.).
The modeled gravity was interpolated from observed gravity values.
North East Units Estimated Accuracy
SPC MO C - 373,550. 423,170. MT (+/- 180 meters Scaled)
