This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which provides the foundational control points for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Fresno County, California at coordinates 36.72833°N, 119.97000°W, this trig point serves as a horizontal reference marker established through classical triangulation methods. Triangulation stations of this type anchor surveying projects, engineering works, and geographic information systems across their region. The NGS network consists of precisely positioned monumented points that surveyors and engineers reference when establishing local control networks for construction, mapping, and land division. Verification and documentation of benchmark locations remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic framework. Even when specific historical records are limited, confirming the existence and accessibility of such control points supports ongoing surveying operations and ensures continuity of accurate spatial reference data for public and private projects across the state.
