Split from U.S. National Geodetic Survey[edit]

The U.S. 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) 21:24, 28 October 2022 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]
