This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control points for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.01846° N, 106.66339° W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for regional surveys and geographic positioning. Triangulation stations of this type were established to create a framework of precisely positioned monuments across the country, enabling surveyors and engineers to tie local surveys into a consistent national datum. The point's geographic location in the Albuquerque area makes it valuable for surveys in central New Mexico. Documentation and periodic verification of such control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic network. Surveyors rely on these benchmarks for accurate boundary determination, infrastructure planning, and spatial reference in both public and private projects.
