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 Baltimore, Maryland at coordinates 39.30861°, -76.61778°, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning and surveying activities throughout the region. Triangulation stations establish precise horizontal control by connecting known points across the landscape, enabling accurate mapping, engineering surveys, and geographic coordination. The NGS maintains this network to support boundary determinations, construction projects, and spatial data consistency across jurisdictions. Verification and continued documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveyors and engineers who depend on reliable horizontal control. Maintaining records of these reference points ensures the integrity of the geodetic framework upon which modern surveying and mapping practices depend.
