Government Shutdown Affects NGS, USGS

U.S. government shutdown results in the taking down of NGS and USGS websites. Alternate locations for some data are given. NOAA's Tides and Currents website is not affected.

Due to the government shutdown, the NGS and USGS websites are currently unavailable.

Archived NGS datasheets (from 2000-2001) are available at Geocaching.com: http://www.geocaching.com/mark/

These are useful only for benchmark hunters and are not to be considered reliable survey data.

Some USGS datasheets are available here: https://thesurveystation.com/usgs-datasheets/

NOAA’s Tides and Currents website is still active. Tidal bench mark datasheets are available here: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stations.html?type=Bench+Mark+Data+Sheets

Local agencies’ marks may be available here: https://thesurveystation.com/local-control-monument-databases/
