The NOAA National Geodetic Survey is a United States federal agency that defines and manages a national coordinate system, providing the foundation for transportation, communication, mapping, and charting, along with numerous science and engineering applications. Founded in its present form in 1970, it operates as part of NOAA within the U.S. Department of Commerce and is based in Silver Spring, Maryland. As a government-focused organization, its work supports a range of users and activities that rely on precise geospatial reference information to plan and execute projects. With a relatively small to mid-sized staff, the NGS remains central to maintaining the national coordinate system that underpins critical infrastructure and scientific research.
