Geodetic, historical, and field work methodologies were integrated in the study to obtain scientifically sound results, which include the determination of coordinates of the original geodetic benchmarks and the successful identification of several remains. An outstanding typical error of 0.4 '' for the old angular measurements can also be deduced from the analysis. Conversely, several old altitudes were found to have errors or considerably lower accuracies than those expected, around 1 m.This research was funded by the Institut Cartografic Valencia. The authors are grateful to the editor and the three anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments that helped improve the manuscript.American Society of Civil EngineersDepartamento de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y FotogrametríaEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Geodésica, Cartográfica y TopográficaGrupo de Cartografía, Geodesia y GPSINSTITUT CARTOGRAFIC VALÈNCIARepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20212021-08-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/199462reponame:RiuNet.
