Description: This data contains a set of geodetic control stations maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. Each geodetic control station in this dataset has either a precise Latitude/Longitude used for horizontal control or a precise Orthometric Height used for vertical control, or both. The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) serves as the Nation's depository for geodetic data. The NGS distributes geodetic data worldwide to a variety of users. These geodetic data include the final results of geodetic surveys, software programs to format, compute, verify, and adjust original survey observations or to convert values from one geodetic datum to another, and publications that describe how to obtain and use Geodetic Data products and services.

Description: Corners established as part of the original government survey are the basis for legal descriptions of real property in Florida. The section corners identified as Verified = “NO” were initially added from a spreadsheet containing State Plane X/Y coordinates transferred from certified corner records by Lee County Property Appraiser. Coordinates were converted from NAD27 to NAD83 using CORPSCON as needed. The verified section corners (Verified = “YES”) are corners that were field verified by a certified surveyor contracted by Lee County. BLM is the Bureau of Land Management ID used to locate certified corner records on LABINS website. Example : T45SR24E500300 is the SW corner of section 23-T45S-R24E. The last 6 digits can be found on the BLM identifier grid/chart on LABINS website, http://www.labins.org/survey_data/landrecords/landrecords.cfmPointNumber is an internal number that was assigned by surveyorX_COORD and Y_COORD are State Plane Coordinates, Florida West, feet LABINSlink hyperlinks to the LABINS recordRecoverySheet is a hyperlink to the Lee County recovery sheet N27 and E27 are the northing and easting, NAD27 datumN83 and E83 are the NAD27 coordinates converted to NAD83
