{wiki=National_Spatial_Reference_System}
The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is a framework in the United States that provides a consistent and accurate geospatial foundation for mapping and surveying activities. It is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically through the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The NSRS includes a set of geodetic control points, data, and standards that ensure the accurate representation of the Earth's geographic features for various applications, including engineering, construction, and environmental monitoring.
