This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.07174° N, 106.58638° W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to create precise positional networks through intervisible monument chains. Such points remain valuable for verifying modern positioning techniques, validating GPS/GNSS measurements, and maintaining the continuity of the National Spatial Reference System. The documentation and preservation of this benchmark supports land surveying professionals, cartographers, and civil engineers who depend on accurate geodetic control. Verification of existing trig stations helps ensure the reliability and consistency of spatial data for both public and private surveying projects throughout New Mexico and adjoining areas.
