If NAMRIA has no available data for an area, which should be included?

When NAMRIA has no data for an area, establishing a vertical reference first is essential. Leveling measurements create the height framework by determining elevations and tying benchmarks to a datum. With no existing data, having reliable elevation information anchors all future surveys and mapping activities, ensuring that later horizontal measurements or control-point work can be accurately referenced. Proposing leveling measurement activities directly addresses this foundational need, whereas other options assume horizontal data or already established vertical control, which aren’t in place yet. Therefore, focusing on proposed leveling measurement activities is the appropriate first step.
