This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping activities throughout the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as primary control points, typically situated at elevated or strategically visible locations to support triangulation networks. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, this benchmark provides precise horizontal positioning referenced to the national geodetic datum. Such control points enable surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to establish local surveys with known accuracy and spatial relationship to the broader national coordinate system. Documentation and verification of existing benchmarks remain essential for maintaining geodetic infrastructure integrity, particularly as surveying technologies evolve. Professionals should note that elevation data is not recorded in this registry entry; original documentation or field investigation may provide additional details regarding this point's vertical reference.
