This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which maintains the fundamental geodetic control infrastructure across the United States. Trig stations serve as primary reference points for establishing horizontal positions and creating precise surveys at regional and local scales. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.07997°, -106.60676°, this benchmark contributes to the network's coverage of the southwestern United States. Triangulation stations historically provided the backbone of control networks before modern positioning technologies emerged. Documentation and periodic verification of such monumentation remain valuable for surveyors conducting boundary work, engineering projects, and geospatial research. Maintaining accurate records of geodetic control points ensures continuity of spatial reference systems and supports professional surveying practice across jurisdictions.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
