This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the foundational geodetic control for the United States. Situated near Orinda, California, at coordinates 37.89194° N, 122.20000° W, this trig point serves as a reference monument for surveying and mapping activities in the East Bay region. Triangulation stations function as primary control points, enabling surveyors and cartographers to tie local surveys into the national coordinate system. Such points are established at prominent elevations to ensure adequate sightlines for inter-visibility with other stations, facilitating precise horizontal positioning across broad areas. The verification and documentation of geodetic benchmarks remain essential for maintaining survey accuracy and continuity. Periodic inspection of these monuments helps ensure their integrity and continued utility for professional surveying work. This point contributes to the systematic spatial reference framework upon which infrastructure, land administration, and scientific investigation depend.
