This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which maintains the geodetic control infrastructure essential to surveying, mapping, and engineering projects throughout the United States. Located near the Federal Aviation Administration facility in New Mexico at coordinates 35.17357°, -106.56734°, this trig point serves as a horizontal reference station for regional survey work. The ellipsoidal elevation of 1620.6 meters provides vertical control data necessary for precise positioning. Trig stations of this type are established to create a network of monumented points with known coordinates, enabling surveyors and engineers to reference their local measurements to the national coordinate system. Documentation and periodic verification of such control points remain critical for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the national geodetic framework. Regular recovery and testing of these stations ensures reliable positioning data for contemporary surveying applications and infrastructure development.
