This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which forms the foundation of the National Spatial Reference System for the United States. Trig stations serve as precise horizontal control points established through classical triangulation methods, providing geodetic reference coordinates for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across regions. Located near Biddeford, Maine, this point at 43.47108° North, 70.51013° West contributes to geodetic infrastructure in the northeastern United States. As a network station, it has supported numerous surveys and construction projects requiring accurate positional reference. Documentation and verification of benchmark locations remains essential for surveyors and engineers who depend on these established control points. The coordinates and monument condition recorded in the NGS database enable practitioners to access reliable reference geometry for their work. Periodic inspection and confirmation of such stations helps maintain the integrity of the reference network across regions experiencing development or environmental change.
