This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic control framework for the United States. As a trig point, this station served as a precisely positioned reference for terrestrial surveying operations, enabling surveyors to extend accurate positional control across regions. Located near York, Maine, at coordinates 43.14194°N, 70.69667°W, the point contributes to the regional survey infrastructure in southern Maine. Triangulation stations of this type historically supported mapping, engineering projects, and cadastral surveying by providing known reference positions for network expansion. The documented location and network affiliation remain valuable for modern surveyors conducting verification work, establishing local control, or performing historical survey reconciliation. Maintaining records of such points preserves institutional geodetic knowledge and supports continuity in survey practice across generations.
