 MV0311.The horizontal coordinates were established by classical geodetic methods
 MV0311.and adjusted by the National Geodetic Survey in June 1998.
 MV0311.
 MV0311.The NAVD 88 height was computed by applying the VERTCON shift value to
 MV0311.the NGVD 29 height (displayed under SUPERSEDED SURVEY CONTROL.)

 MV0311.Significant digits in the geoid height do not necessarily reflect accuracy.
