Subject:        map cataloging subject help needed

I am cataloging a map that shows survey control points (title:
University of Colorado at Boulder survey control diagram), and I am
having a hard time coming up with any relevant subject headings. I have,
so far, determined that “Bench-marks” (which is an established heading)
are not the same as control points. The only valid subject I can come up
with is “Surveying” – but that doesn’t seem particularly useful.

I have tried searching OCLC for similar maps, but using keywords
“survey” and “control” brings up all the USGS topos.

Does anyone have any similar maps? Or enough surveying knowledge to know
of any better headings?

Thanks,

Laura
