This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, the primary source of geodetic control for the United States. As a trig point, it served to establish horizontal positional accuracy through sightline measurements connecting distant stations across a regional framework. Located near Atlanta, Georgia, at coordinates 33.81557°, -84.37534°, this benchmark contributes to the foundational reference system upon which surveying, mapping, and construction projects depend. Trig stations of this era were typically monumented with brass or stone markers to ensure permanence and recovery. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for modern surveys, particularly when comparing historical measurements to contemporary GPS-derived positions. Maintenance of the benchmark registry supports continuity in geodetic practice and helps surveyors establish reliable datums for local work.
