NGS Launches New Survey Mark Recovery Page

Friday May 1, 2020

NGS has launched a new online form that allows for the submission of survey mark recoveries. A survey mark is any permanent mark or disk placed in the ground or attached to a permanent structure with known latitude, longitude, or height information. To maintain updated records on the more than 800,000 survey marks set around the United States and its territories, NGS encourages the public to submit current survey mark recovery information. The new survey mark recovery form is mobile friendly and takes advantage of smartphone features such GPS and cameras. This new form will help users contribute more high-quality data to the NGS spatial reference database.
