This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental control network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Fresno County, California, at coordinates 36.78889° N, 119.11872° W, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal control. Triangulation monuments of this type were historically established to create interconnected networks of precisely positioned points visible from distance. Such stations support surveyors, engineers, and cartographers requiring accurate horizontal positioning data for boundary determinations, construction projects, and geographic information systems. The NGS network remains foundational to surveying practice despite advances in satellite positioning technology. Verification and documentation of these monuments ensures their continued utility and prevents loss of important geodetic infrastructure. Recovery and validation of historical control points contribute valuable data to the nation's spatial reference framework.
