checkpoints; black; blue
The elevation of the top of the obstacle above (mean sea level, above ground level) and the height of the structure (AGL, MSL) is also indicated.
mean sea level, above ground level
The (MSL, AGL) is in parenthesis below the (MSL, AGL) elevation.
AGL; MSL
In extremely congested areas, the FAA omits the (AGL, MSL) values to avoid confusion.
AGL
