This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Nashville, Tennessee at coordinates 36.19311° N, 86.70372° W, this trig point serves as a fundamental reference for local and regional surveying operations. Triangulation stations of this type historically provided precise horizontal positions through intervisible networks, forming the backbone of geodetic infrastructure before modern satellite-based systems. Contemporary surveyors and engineers reference such marks to validate survey work, establish local control, and maintain consistency across projects. Documentation and verification of existing benchmarks remain valuable for understanding historical survey networks and supporting surveys in areas where satellite positioning requires supplementary ground control. Accurate record-keeping of these points benefits the professional surveying community and supports infrastructure development.
