This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Trig stations serve as control points for horizontal positioning, enabling surveyors and cartographers to reference their work to a common geodetic datum. Located in Baltimore County, Maryland, at coordinates 39.28508°N, 76.73883°W, this benchmark contributes to the regional survey infrastructure. Triangulation stations of this type historically provided essential ground control for subsequent surveys and continue to hold value for verifying positional accuracy of modern surveys and spatial datasets. The absence of recorded elevation data suggests this point may predate comprehensive vertical documentation or that recovery efforts did not include leveling observations. Verification and recovery of such control points remain important for maintaining geodetic network integrity and supporting accurate surveying practice in the region.

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.
