This is a triangulation (trig) station within the National Geodetic Survey's control network, which forms the foundational framework for accurate surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in San Diego County, California at coordinates 32.84160° N, 117.27889° W, this point serves as a reference for establishing horizontal positions in the region. Triangulation stations are monumented survey points used to extend geodetic control across large areas through geometric measurements between intervisible marks. This particular station contributes to the NGS's hierarchical network of reference points that support cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Documentation and verification of such benchmark locations remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the nation's geodetic infrastructure. Contemporary surveyors depend on accurate knowledge of these control points' positions and physical conditions to perform reliable work across San Diego County and surrounding areas.
