Abstract
A brief review of uses and applications of vertical control points is presented, followed by a description of national leveling networks, which are based on the 1928 Canadian Vertical Datum. Problems and shortcomings related to these networks are discussed. Plans and preparations for a redefinition of North American vertical geodetic networks by the late 1980s are presented. Benefits of such a redefinition are discussed.
