The lead of this article neglects to mention what the Geodetic Survey is. It probably shouldn't start off with history. — EncMstr ( talk) 20:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
This subject is discussed as it relates to USC&GS vessels -- see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ships/Archive 9#85 CSS = Coast Survey Ship?. This may be plausibly relevant to some future reader. -- Tenmei ( talk) 01:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
The article says no more than a few words regarding the Geodetic Survey's current responsibilities and activities.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of U.S. National Geodetic Survey was copied or moved into United States Coast and Geodetic Survey with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey was a long-lived agency with its own history, and it was the ancestor of a number of modern-day agencies and organizations in addition to the National Geodetic Survey. Including its history in the National Geodetic Survey article also was disproportionate, making the National Geodetic Survey article mostly about a different agency that was not the ancestor of it alone. It made sense to split out the Coast and Geodetic Survey into its own article. So I did. Mdnavman ( talk) 22:55, 28 October 2022 (UTC)Mdnavman
