This is a triangulation (trig) station within the National Geodetic Survey network, located in the Garfield Heights area of Ohio at coordinates 41.40745°N, 81.60393°W. As a trig point, it served as a control station for the NGS's horizontal geodetic network, providing precise positional references for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Trig stations are typically established at elevated or prominent locations to facilitate intervisibility for classical triangulation methods. The NGS network forms a critical foundation for the nation's surveying and mapping infrastructure, supporting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Verification and documentation of benchmark locations and their monumentation status remain valuable for the surveying profession, ensuring the integrity of regional control networks and supporting modern positioning technologies. Survey professionals should confirm current conditions and accessibility when utilizing this reference point.
