This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Orinda in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, this trig point serves as a control station for establishing accurate horizontal positions and elevations in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and occupied during geodetic surveys to create networks of known coordinates. Such stations provide reference points essential for professional surveyors conducting boundary surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work. The station's position at 37.88306°, -122.20139° and its inclusion in the NGS network demonstrates its role in the broader system of geodetic control. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks remain valuable for surveying professionals requiring reliable reference points and for understanding the historical development of geodetic networks in areas of continued development.
