This trigonometric station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Trig stations serve as control points for surveying and mapping activities, providing precisely documented spatial references across regions. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.05307°N, 106.67228°W, this benchmark contributes to the dense network of established control points throughout the southwestern United States. Such stations enable surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to reference their local measurements to the national geodetic datum. The documentation and verification of these reference points remain essential for land surveying, infrastructure development, and geographic information systems. Maintaining accurate records of benchmark locations, even those with incomplete data such as this station's elevation, supports continued access to reliable positional control for professional surveying work in the region.
