This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for accurate surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Sandoval County, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.22167° N, 106.59083° W, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal geodetic control. Triangulation stations of this type were traditionally established to create a hierarchy of control points from which detailed surveys could be referenced with known accuracy. The point's location in northwestern New Mexico positions it within the Rio Grande valley region. Documentation and verification of benchmark locations remain essential for surveyors, engineers, and cartographers who depend on established control networks for precise positioning and project alignment. Maintenance of these reference points ensures continuity of the geodetic datum and supports modern surveying applications.
