This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's legacy control network, which establishes the foundational horizontal datum for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in the Vancouver, Washington area at coordinates 45.61756°, -122.52385°, this trig point served as a fundamental reference for theodolite-based surveying operations and subsequent positioning work in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically occupied to create networks of known positions from which detailed surveys could be conducted. Modern surveyors and geospatial professionals continue to reference and verify such points to maintain consistency between historical surveys and contemporary positioning systems. Documentation and recovery of these control points remain valuable for understanding the accuracy and extent of regional survey coverage, particularly in areas where NGS control density supports both public works and private surveying applications.
