+Blue Canary Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I found a benchmark today from an organization I can't identify. It is a standard brass disk placed in the top of a concrete pedestal. Around the top it says U. S. Engineering Dept. Mobile District. In the middle is the standard reference mark and the year 1939. Stamped around the bottom is T. T. C-1-577. The only thing I can find on the internet is a reference that seems to imply the U S Engineering Dept was a predecessor to the Corp of Engineers. Two questions: 1. What agency is this now. 2. Is there anyway to reference the data for this mark. Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 (edited) If not mistaken they are now called the Army Corps of Engineers. The data base you are looking for is held in Mobile Alabama. U.S.A.C.E. MOBILE DISTRICT U.S.A.C.E. U.S.A.C.E. VERTICAL CONTROL PROJECT CONTROL COORDINATE SYSTEMS AND DATUMS This is how I got there It may or may not work. Search benchmarks Put in benchmarks,the first box then click search Edited July 28, 2004 by GEO*Trailblazer 1 Quote Link to comment
