This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental control network, which establishes the geometric framework for mapping and surveying across the United States. Located near Carnegie, Pennsylvania, at coordinates 40.40667° N, 80.08750° W, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for horizontal positioning in western Pennsylvania. Triangulation stations like this one historically provided precise horizontal control by establishing lines of sight between elevated points across the landscape. Such monuments remain valuable components of the national geodetic infrastructure, supporting boundary surveys, engineering projects, and spatial data collection. Verification and documentation of these reference points are essential for maintaining the integrity of the survey network. Surveyors and geodetic professionals rely on accurate records of benchmark locations and monumentation status to ensure consistent spatial referencing for ongoing work in the region.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
