Abstract

Geodetic control networks have classically been divided into two distinct categories: (1) horizontal and (2) vertical. Each network has its own respective set of monumented points—i.e., horizontal control (or “triangulation”) stations and bench marks in horizontal and vertical networks, respectively. Similarly, classical control surveying methods are divided into two nearly independent categories: (1) horizontal methods that include traversing (Chapter 8), triangulation (Chapter 10), trilateration (Chapter 11), and combinations of the three; and (2) vertical methods that consist of differential and trigonometric leveling (Chapter 6).
