This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which provides the foundational geodetic control for surveying, mapping, and infrastructure development across the United States. Located near Vancouver, Washington at coordinates 45.61664°, -122.51542°, this trig point serves as a precisely positioned reference for establishing horizontal control in the region. Trig stations of this type have historically supported large-scale surveying operations and continue to provide valuable reference points for modern positioning work. The documented coordinates enable surveyors and engineers to tie local measurements to the national geodetic datum, ensuring consistency and accuracy across projects. Verification and maintenance of such benchmarks remain important for the surveying community. Even when elevation data is absent from historical records, the horizontal position retains utility for control network applications. Regular confirmation of monument condition and coordinate accuracy helps preserve the integrity of geodetic infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest.
