This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of horizontal geodetic positioning throughout the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.05059° N, 106.55359° W, this trig point serves as a reference for surveying and mapping operations in the region. Trigonometric stations such as this were established to provide surveyors with precise horizontal control for property boundary surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work. As a component of NGS infrastructure, this benchmark contributes to the national spatial reference system. Verification and documentation of existing control points remains essential for maintaining survey accuracy and continuity. Surveyors relying on such marks benefit from current condition assessments and coordinate confirmation. Records of these stations ensure that future surveying activities can reference stable, well-documented positions.
