Control station

(1) A point, on the ground, whose location (horizontal or vertical coordinates) is used as a basis for obtaining locations of other points. (2) A survey station whose coordinates are accepted as being sufficiently accurate that the coordinates of other survey stations can be determined with reference to it. In other words, a survey station used for control. (3) A point on the ground whose location (horizontal or vertical or both) is used as a basis for a dependent survey, and from which observations were made.
