This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the horizontal and vertical control framework essential to surveying and mapping across the United States. Situated in Bastrop County, Texas, at coordinates 30.15149° N, 97.55494° W, this trig point functions as a reference for establishing accurate positions in regional survey work and geodetic measurements. Triangulation stations of this type historically supported large-scale surveying projects through intervisibility networks. Modern surveying professionals rely on documented control points to verify equipment performance, establish local coordinate systems, and maintain consistency in cadastral and engineering surveys. The recovery and documentation of existing NGS benchmarks remains valuable for quality assurance in contemporary surveying practice, particularly in regions where GPS-only solutions may benefit from independent horizontal control verification.
