12 — NGS CE0228 — El Paso, US

This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near El Paso, Texas, at coordinates 31.80000° North, 106.53556° West, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal position control in the southwestern region. Trigonometric stations of this type were historically established through precise angular and distance measurements to create interconnected networks of known positions. These monuments provide essential datum references for surveyors, engineers, and cartographers conducting boundary surveys, infrastructure projects, and geographic analysis. Verification and documentation of such geodetic control points remains important for maintaining survey accuracy and integrity. Professional surveyors rely on these established positions to tie their local measurements into the national coordinate system, ensuring consistency and reliability across multiple surveys and projects.
