This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Designated as a trig point, this station served as a precisely positioned reference for conventional triangulation methods used to extend horizontal control across regions. Located near Biddeford, Maine at coordinates 43.47700°, -70.47468°, the point occupies a position within New England's geodetic infrastructure. Trig stations of this type typically occupied elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate intervisibility with other control points. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remain important for surveying professionals conducting boundary surveys, engineering projects, and spatial data collection. The NGS network continues to serve as the authoritative reference for geodetic control in the United States, supporting modern surveying practices and maintaining consistency across cadastral and engineering applications.
