   What is the national geodetic vertical datum (NGVD 29)?

   • Since the first general adjustment of the geodetic leveling network was completed in 1900, NGS has been responsible for defining the official, legal vertical reference frame in the United States. In 1929, NGS compiled all of the existing vertical bench marks and created the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29).
