# CHISHOLM PARK FLAGPOLE 1941 — NGS KU3823 — New York, US CHISHOLM PARK FLAGPOLE 1941 is a U.S. National Geodetic Survey triangulation station (KU3823) established in 1941 at 40.7931°N, 73.8528°W in New York. As a first-order control point, it serves as a reference monument for static GNSS occupations, RTK base station initialization, and leveling network densification across the region. The flagpole structure provides a distinctive, accessible mark suitable for direct observation and instrument setup. This station supports local and regional surveying operations requiring high-accuracy horizontal and vertical control, particularly for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geodetic network maintenance. Recovery and validation of the mark is recommended prior to use in precision work. Surveyors should consult current NGS documentation for any adjustments or datum information applicable to contemporary coordinate systems.
