This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundation of the United States' horizontal geodetic control system. Located in Scott Township, Pennsylvania, at coordinates 40.40232°N, 80.08757°W, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide accurate positional control for large-scale geodetic surveys and engineering projects. The point's documented location enables surveyors and engineers to reference their work to the national coordinate system with confidence. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of geodetic networks. Even when specific elevation data is unavailable, the horizontal coordinates provide essential reference information for regional surveying work, GIS applications, and infrastructure development. Locating and confirming the continued existence of these monuments helps preserve critical geodetic infrastructure.
