 GT1852.The horizontal coordinates were established by classical geodetic methods
 GT1852.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in March 1994.
 GT1852.The horizontal coordinates are valid at the epoch date displayed above.
 GT1852.The epoch date for horizontal control is a decimal equivalence
 GT1852.of Year/Month/Day.
 GT1852
 GT1852.The NAVD 88 height was computed by applying the VERTCON shift value to
 GT1852.the NGVD 29 height (displayed under SUPERSEDED SURVEY CONTROL.)
 GT1852
 GT1852.The Laplace correction was computed from DEFLEC99 derived deflections.
 GT1852
 GT1852.The geoid height was determined by GEOID99.

 GT1852                          STATION DESCRIPTION
 GT1852
 GT1852'DESCRIBED BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1950 (RJS)
 GT1852'THE STATION IS LOCATED WITHIN THE SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK AND
 GT1852'IS ON THE HIGHEST POINT OF WHAT IS LOCALLY KNOWN AS ALTA PEAK.
 GT1852'IT IS ABOUT 62 MILES AIR LINE EAST SOUTHEAST OF FRESNO, 35
 GT1852'MILES AIR LINE WEST OF LONE PINE, AND 5-1/2 MILES AIR LINE EAST
 GT1852'OF THE GIANT FOREST HEADQUARTERS.  THE MARK IS STAMPED ALTA 1950.
 GT1852'
 GT1852'REFERENCE MARK NUMBER 1 IS ABOUT 30 FEET LOWER THAN THE STATION.
 GT1852'THE MARK IS STAMPED ALTA NO 1 1950.
 GT1852'
 GT1852'REFERENCE MARK NUMBER 2 IS ABOUT 3 FEET HIGHER THAN THE STATION.
 GT1852'THE MARK IS STAMPED ALTA NO 2 1950.
 GT1852'
 GT1852'THE AZIMUTH MARK IS LOCATED ABOUT 300 YARDS WEST OF WHERE THE
 GT1852'TRAIL CROSSES A RIDGE IN WHAT IS LOCALLY KNOWN AS PANTHER
 GT1852'GAP.  IT IS 200 FEET SOUTH OF THE CREST OF THE RIDGE.  IT
 GT1852'IS SET IN A BOULDER THAT PROJECTS 3 FEET AND IS BESIDE A LARGE
 GT1852'BOULDER WHICH IS ABOUT 25 FEET HIGH.  THE MARK IS STAMPED ALTA
 GT1852'1950.
 GT1852'
 GT1852'TO REACH FROM THE GIANT FOREST, SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK, POST
 GT1852'OFFICE, GO NORTHERLY ON STATE HIGHWAY 198 FOR 2.0 MILES TO A
 GT1852'FORK AT GENERAL SHERMAN TREE.  TAKE THE ROAD RIGHT AND GO
 GT1852'1.5 MILES TO A FORK AND SIGN CORRALS.  TURN LEFT AND GO 0.2
 GT1852'MILE TO THE CORRALS.  (HORSES AND PACK ANIMALS CAN BE OBTAINED
 GT1852'HERE FROM THE MC GEE PACK STATION.) WITH HORSES FOLLOW THE
 GT1852'HEATHER LAKE TRAIL FOR ABOUT 2 MILES TO A FORK AND SIGN ALTA
 GT1852'PEAK 5-1/2 MILES.  TAKE THE RIGHT FORK AS PER SIGN AND
 GT1852'CONTINUE UP THE TRAIL TO WHERE IT CROSSES A RIDGE IN WHAT IS
 GT1852'LOCALLY KNOWN AS PANTHER GAP AND A SIGN ALTA PEAK 4.3.
 GT1852'(THE AZIMUTH MARK IS UP THE RIDGE TO THE RIGHT AS DESCRIBED
 GT1852'ABOVE.) CONTINUE ON THE TRAIL AS PER SIGNS TO THE HIGHEST
 GT1852'POINT AND THE STATION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.  A 3-1/2 HOUR HORSE
 GT1852'PACK.

 GT1852'RECOVERY NOTE BY COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY 1962 (JCC)
 GT1852'THE STATION MARK, REFERENCE MARKS 1, 2 AND THE AZIMUTH MARK
 GT1852'WERE RECOVERED AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED BY R.J.S. IN 1950.
