Benchmark Manual

This manual is published by the City of Cincinnati, Department of Transportation and Engineering. It is prepared to allow convenient access to geodetic control information within the City of Cincinnati by surveying and engineering professionals.

The manual is divided into several sections. The INTRODUCTION section gives background information and guidance in the use of the City's geodetic control network.

The next four sections provide the latest geodetic control for information monuments recently placed within the City. As in previous manuals, they have been divided into four quadrants: NORTHEASTNORTHWESTSOUTHEAST, and SOUTHWEST (Section 1Section 2). These monuments are arranged in ascending numerical order within each section.

TABLE A lists these monuments, with their respective coordinates and elevations, in numerical order. TABLE B lists monuments remaining from previous manuals along with respective coordinates and elevations (based upon NAD 27 and NAVD 29). TABLE C  provides descriptions and locations of towers and other reference stations, the 9000 series, located throughout the area that are useful for obtaining grid bearing references.
