This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control for the United States. Located near El Paso, Texas, at coordinates 31.77873° N, 106.52326° W, this point serves as a reference for surveying and mapping operations across the region. Triangulation stations form the backbone of horizontal control networks, providing accurately positioned points for subsequent surveys and engineering projects. Their primary function is to establish a framework of known positions that surveyors, cartographers, and engineers reference when conducting detailed measurements and spatial analyses. Documentation and verification of such monuments remain important for maintaining the integrity of geodetic infrastructure. As surveying technology evolves, access to historically established control points helps ensure consistency between legacy surveys and contemporary work, supporting infrastructure development, land administration, and scientific research across the southwestern United States.
