This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Situated in Baltimore County, Maryland, at coordinates 39.28651°, -76.73338°, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to create accurate geodetic control networks through observations between visible stations. Such monuments remain valuable for survey work, mapping projects, and establishing local coordinate systems. The documented location and network affiliation enable surveyors and engineers to reference their work to a consistent national standard. Verification and maintenance of these control points preserve their utility for contemporary surveying applications. Even points with incomplete records contribute to understanding the historical development of geodetic infrastructure in the Mid-Atlantic region. Professional surveyors should verify current accuracy before use in precision work.
