This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the fundamental framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Wallingford, Vermont, at coordinates 43.47682° North, 72.97644° West, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal positioning and theodolite observations. Trig stations of this type were historically occupied to create networks of known positions distributed across the landscape, supporting subsequent surveys at various scales. Modern practitioners rely on documented benchmark records to verify spatial accuracy in contemporary work, establish local control networks, and validate coordinate transformations. Verification and maintenance of such reference points remain valuable for quality assurance in surveying practice and for understanding the historical development of geodetic coverage in New England regions.
