This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which provides the foundational reference framework for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at coordinates 40.08107° N, 75.03934° W, this trig point serves as a precisely established ground control station for regional geodetic work. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and monumented to support large-scale surveys and establish accurate horizontal positions. The ellipsoidal elevation of 10.4 meters reflects the point's vertical relationship to the reference ellipsoid. Contemporary surveyors and engineers utilize such benchmarks for verification, network densification, and quality assurance in modern positioning projects. Documentation and periodic validation of these control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure and ensuring reliable geospatial reference data.
