Denver’s mile-high mark is moving — again
Denver is adding a new mile-high marker at the Colorado State Capitol to reflect updated geodetic measurements. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geodetic Survey, led by Brian Shaw, is refining spatial positioning data to account for technological advancements and rising sea levels, making the new marker more precise than previous ones.
