This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which maintains the foundational geodetic control for the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.09318°N, 106.68117°W, this trig point serves as a horizontal reference for surveying and mapping operations across the region. Triangulation stations establish precise horizontal positions through intervisible networks of monumented points. Such benchmarks provide essential control for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic data collection. The NGS network represents decades of accumulated survey work, creating the geometric framework upon which local and regional surveys depend. Documentation and verification of these reference points remain critical for maintaining geodetic accuracy and ensuring interoperability of surveying work. Though elevation data is not recorded for this station, its horizontal coordinates contribute to the broader horizontal control network serving New Mexico and adjacent areas.
