This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes fundamental horizontal geodetic control across the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.17437° N, 106.56867° W, this trig point serves as a reference station for surveying and mapping operations in the region. Triangulation stations function as monumented positions with precisely determined coordinates, enabling surveyors and engineers to reference their work to the national geodetic framework. Such points support infrastructure development, property boundary surveys, and scientific research requiring accurate positional data. The NGS maintains records of these benchmarks to preserve their accessibility for future surveys. Verification and documentation of existing monuments ensures continuity of geodetic control, prevents duplication of effort, and supports the long-term integrity of spatial reference systems. This station contributes to the broader network infrastructure essential for coordinated surveying activities throughout the region.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
