This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which establishes the foundational reference system for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Taylor County, West Virginia, at coordinates 39.27472° N, 80.19861° W, this trig point serves as a precisely positioned reference monument for professional surveyors and mapping activities in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to provide accurate horizontal positional control by intervisibility between elevated points across the landscape. Such monuments remain valuable for verifying modern survey work, validating GPS and other positioning technologies, and maintaining continuity with historical survey records. Proper documentation and periodic verification of these reference points ensures the integrity of the geodetic datum and supports continued accuracy in all surveying operations dependent upon the NGS network.
