This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Triangulation stations serve as precise reference points for determining positions and elevations, enabling surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to conduct accurate measurements and establish local control networks. Located in Delanco Township, New Jersey, at coordinates 40.06346° N, 74.93459° W, this trig point contributes to regional geodetic coverage in the mid-Atlantic area. As a component of NGS infrastructure, it provides surveyors with established positions of known accuracy for checking and verifying their own survey work. Verification and maintenance of such benchmarks remain important to the surveying profession. Documenting these points preserves their availability for future projects and confirms their continued utility as geodetic references. Surveyors are encouraged to report on the condition and accessibility of marked stations to support the ongoing integrity of the national control network.
