Welcome to the Montana Control Point Database!

Here you will find survey and mapping control contributed by Montana’s professional land surveyors who are committed to improving the positional accuracy of geospatial information.

The public may use this site to search for and download survey and mapping control points that are unique to the Montana data set. For your convenience we also provide copies of the Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) of the US Bureau of Land Management, and links to the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) control point data sheets.

Professional Land Surveyors who are licensed to practice in the State of Montana may use this site to contribute control point records to make them available to the public.

The data offered here are presented by the host of this site, and by the data contributors for your use without warranty of accuracy or correctness or completeness. By using this site and the data contained herein, you agree that you assume all risk in how you use the data provided herein.

Issues and known constraints:

The coordinates available in this database are stored as provide by the surveyor. The administrators of this database do not modify, re-project, adjust, transform, reformat, update, or change in any way the coordinate values provided herein.
There could be multiple records for what is, purported to be, the same point, i.e. a surveyor or surveyors might provide competing coordinates for a section corner. The administrators and hosts of this database do not adjudicate conflicting or competing coordinates for any point in this database. It is up to you the user, to decide which coordinate to use, if any. Caveat Emptor!!
This application may from time to time create mapping coordinates for each point that may be different from those contained in the database record. These mapping coordinates are for the sole purpose of generating a graphical display. These mapping coordinates should not be used for any purposes or relied upon in any way. This application presents, and you should use only the surveyor supplied coordinates, extracted from the database, for viewing and downloading (see 1. above).

We wish to thank the following groups for their contributions and efforts to make these data available to you, the public:
