This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental control network, which provides the geometric foundation for surveying and mapping activities throughout the United States. Located in the Kittery, Maine area at coordinates 43.10556°N, 70.74222°W, this trig point served to establish horizontal control through classical trilateration methods. Such stations were positioned at elevated or prominent locations to facilitate sightings between distant points, creating a framework of known positions upon which local and regional surveys depend. The accurate documentation and periodic verification of these benchmarks remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic datum, supporting infrastructure development, boundary determination, and scientific research. Professional surveyors rely on such reference points to ensure consistency and traceability in their measurements.
