This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which serves as the foundational control for the National Spatial Reference System. Triangulation points of this type were established to provide precise horizontal control across the United States through intervisible monument networks. Located near Clayton, California, at coordinates 37.94476° N, 121.94429° W, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure in the central California area. As a trig point, it historically served as a reference for surveying operations, mapping, and construction projects requiring accurate positional data. Documentation and verification of such monuments remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network, supporting land surveying work, and preserving historical control point records for future reference and adjustment computations.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
