My mission is to journey to the exact North American Datum and take a picture of the coin and the plaque. I would also like to be discovered by all of my owner's geo-relatives.
N 39 deg. 13.445 W 098 deg. 32.529 The little bronze plaque at that site marks the exact North American Datum, a fixed point from which a sixth of the world's land surface was surveyed. The triangulation station was selected to be the Datum in 1901 by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the primary map makers in America at the time. In 1913, it was adopted as the datum for Canada and Mexico's surveys as well.
Here are the states that I have visited:
