This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's classical horizontal control network, which established the fundamental geodetic framework for the continental United States. Located near Kennebunk, Maine, at coordinates 43.35472° N, 70.50528° W, this point served as a reference station for surveying and mapping operations across its region. Trig stations of this type were designed to provide accurate horizontal positioning through intervisible networks of elevated observation points. The NGS network remains integral to modern surveying practice, serving as foundational control for detailed surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Documentation and verification of such benchmark locations preserve the historical geodetic record and enable surveyors to establish connections between legacy surveys and contemporary positioning methods. Maintaining accurate records of these control points supports land boundary determination and infrastructure development throughout the state.
