This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of primary control points that establish the nation's official geodetic framework. Trig stations serve as precise positional references for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across the United States. Located in the Oakland, California area, this point contributes to regional horizontal control in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of significant surveying activity. The coordinates 37.78222°N, 122.23778°W place the station in an area of moderate to steep terrain typical of the East Bay hills. Documentation and verification of such reference points remain essential for modern survey work, GIS applications, and infrastructure development. Surveyors conducting boundary surveys, construction staking, or spatial analysis depend on access to reliable control point information. Maintaining accurate records of these stations' locations and monumentation condition supports the continued utility of the NGS network.
