This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the geodetic control framework for the United States. Trig stations of this type serve as horizontal control points, providing accurate positional reference data essential for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across regional and national scales. Located near Baltimore, Maryland, at coordinates 39.32222°, -76.53000°, this benchmark contributes to the broader NGS control network. Such points enable surveyors and engineers to tie their local work to the national datum with confidence and precision. Verification and documentation of existing geodetic monuments remain valuable for the surveying community. Even where elevation data has not been recorded, horizontal coordinates provide critical reference information. Maintaining comprehensive records of these control points supports modern geodetic applications, including GPS positioning, GIS development, and infrastructure projects throughout the region.
