NGS Triangulation Station, located near Eliot, Maine at latitude 43.09522°N and longitude 70.76993°W. This trig point serves as a fundamental control station within the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the geometric foundation for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to provide precise horizontal control through intersecting sight lines between elevated positions. The point's designation within the NGS database makes it available for verification and reoccupation by surveyors conducting boundary surveys, engineering projects, and geodetic refinement work. Documentation and recovery of such monuments remain valuable for maintaining survey accuracy and consistency in land records and infrastructure development. Surveyors should verify monumentation condition and coordinates before use in critical applications. Elevation data for this station is currently not recorded in available documentation.
