# 02E 16N AZ MK — NGS KU4579 NGS triangulation station KU4579 is a first-order geodetic control point located in the Village of Great Neck Estates, Nassau County, New York (40.7826°N, 73.7402°W, elevation 9.3 m). As a classic trig station, this benchmark provides fundamental horizontal control for regional surveying networks and serves as a reference for RTK base station operations, static GNSS surveys, and differential positioning work. The point supports precision leveling campaigns tied to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and enables densification of local control networks for engineering, cadastral, and photogrammetric projects. Professional surveyors conducting work in the Long Island area should verify current monumentation status and recovery condition through the NGS database before establishing occupancy. The established coordinates and elevation provide reliable datum connections for maintenance and modernization of survey control infrastructure across western Nassau County.
