This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.04836°N, 106.62167°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal positioning. Triangulation stations of this type have historically provided accurate spatial control for large-scale surveying projects, cadastral work, and infrastructure development. The NGS network remains fundamental to modern geodetic practice, offering surveyors and engineers reproducible reference locations for local and regional surveys. Verification and documentation of such benchmark locations helps preserve institutional knowledge and supports quality assurance in surveying operations. Current elevation data for this station should be obtained through official NGS records or field verification to ensure accuracy in three-dimensional positioning work.
