This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which maintains the fundamental geodetic control infrastructure for the United States. Trig points of this type serve as primary reference stations for surveying, mapping, and positioning work across regional areas. Located near Nashville, Tennessee, at coordinates 36.02972°N, 86.61611°W, this station contributes to the densified control network used by surveyors, engineers, and cartographers for establishing local survey frameworks. Triangulation stations historically provided high-accuracy positional data through intervisible networks of precisely measured angles and distances. Documentation and periodic verification of benchmark locations remain essential for maintaining geodetic datum consistency and enabling accurate spatial referencing across generations of survey work. The NGS registry preserves records of such control points to support both contemporary surveying operations and historical research into surveying practices and coordinate system evolution.

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.
