This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's trig network, which establishes fundamental horizontal control across the United States. Located in Baltimore County, Maryland, at coordinates 39.23833°N, 76.69694°W, this point serves as a reference for surveying and mapping activities in the region. Triangulation stations function as monumented control points for geodetic networks, enabling surveyors and engineers to reference their work to the national datum. Such points support boundary determinations, infrastructure development, and cartographic accuracy. The trig network remains valuable for verifying survey work and establishing local control networks, particularly in areas where GPS or modern techniques benefit from classical geodetic benchmarks. Documentation and verification of existing trig stations preserve institutional knowledge and ensure continuity of surveying practice. This point's continued accessibility allows professionals to validate coordinate systems and maintain the integrity of spatial reference frameworks across Maryland and beyond.
