Summary

To show the location of the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) on Chuuk.

Description

This dataset shows the location of survey control points established on the islands of Chuuk Lagoon. The data layer was created by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2020) by creating a subset ofthe Digital Line Graphs (DGLs) by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The dataset was shifted to follow current imagery better. The exact location in this dataset may not be accurate.
