This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's control network, which establishes the fundamental framework for precise surveying and mapping across the United States. Trig stations serve as monumented reference points for horizontal and vertical control, enabling surveyors and engineers to conduct accurate measurements for construction, property delineation, and geographic information systems. Located in the Alameda, California area, this point contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure supporting the San Francisco Bay Area. The station's coordinates and elevation data facilitate connections between local surveys and the national datum. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining survey accuracy and ensuring consistency across jurisdictional boundaries. Current positioning technology allows for periodic reobservation to assess monument stability and refine coordinate values as geodetic knowledge advances.
