This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geometric framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Harris County, Texas at coordinates 29.88550°N, -95.52513°W, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for horizontal control surveys in the region. Triangulation stations of this type function as monumented positions with precisely determined coordinates, enabling surveyors to extend accurate measurements across extensive areas. The point's established location provides essential baseline data for property boundary determinations, infrastructure development, and geographic information system applications. Documentation and periodic verification of such benchmarks remain critical to maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic network. Even where elevation data remains unrecorded, the horizontal coordinates anchor local surveying operations and support broader spatial reference requirements. Professional surveyors rely on these established control points to ensure consistency and accuracy in their work.
