# ALDA — NGS KU2965 ALDA (KU2965) is a triangulation station maintained by the National Geodetic Survey in Kings Point, New York, positioned at 40.8219°N, 73.7210°W. As a third-order control point, it serves as a horizontal datum reference for surveying operations throughout the Nassau County region. This benchmark supports RTK base station initialization, static GNSS survey sessions requiring tied coordinates, precision leveling networks, and local densification projects. The point's established geodetic position enables surveyors to verify receiver solutions and propagate control into areas lacking existing monumentation. Standard field practice includes recovery verification, condition documentation, and occupancy for CORS validation or network adjustment. Consult the NGS Datasheet for current recovery status and monumentation details before fieldwork planning.
