This triangulation station represents part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points established to support accurate surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Marion County, West Virginia, at coordinates 39.45053° N, 80.10306° W, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning in regional survey work. Triangulation stations function as fundamental geodetic infrastructure, providing surveyors and engineers with reliable coordinate reference marks for property surveys, engineering projects, and spatial data collection. The NGS maintains records of thousands of such control points across the nation. Verification and documentation of benchmark locations remain valuable for practitioners requiring established reference control, particularly in areas where modern positioning methods benefit from correlation with historical geodetic networks. Current condition and accessibility status should be confirmed through the NGS database prior to field use.
