This triangulation 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. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points used in horizontal control networks to support accurate land surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Located in the Oakland, California area, this point contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure of the San Francisco Bay Area. The coordinates are referenced to the NAD83 datum. Trig stations of this type historically formed the backbone of the NGS control network before the advent of satellite-based positioning systems. Verification and maintenance of existing benchmark records—including this station's horizontal position and condition assessment—remain valuable for surveying professionals. Documented reference points provide continuity for local survey work and serve as validation points for modern positioning techniques.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
