NGS stands for National Geodetic Survey
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is a program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) responsible for defining and managing the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). NGS provides precise geographic coordinates, elevation data, and related geospatial information to support land surveying, mapping, and various scientific applications. Through its comprehensive network of geodetic control points and continuous monitoring, NGS plays a critical role in ensuring consistency and accuracy in geospatial data across the United States.
