This triangulation station is part of the NGS network that establishes the geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Oakland, California, at coordinates 37.79931° N, 122.26990° W, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for surveying and mapping operations across the region. Trig stations like this one were historically established to provide accurate horizontal control through intervisible networks of precisely measured points. They remain valuable for verifying and maintaining positional accuracy in modern surveys, GPS validation, and local datum establishment. The Bay Area location places this benchmark within an active surveying region where such reference points support infrastructure development, boundary determinations, and geographic information systems. Documenting and verifying the continued integrity of established benchmarks ensures the reliability of dependent survey work and maintains consistency with the national coordinate reference system.
