This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the geodetic control infrastructure for the United States. Located near El Paso, Texas, at coordinates 31.76085° N, 106.40999° W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for surveying and mapping activities across its region. Triangulation stations provide precise horizontal positioning data through intervisible networks of points. Such monuments support land surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems requiring high-accuracy coordinate references. The NGS maintains these stations as fundamental control to which local and project-specific surveys are tied. Documentation and periodic verification of benchmark locations ensure the continued reliability of the geodetic control network. Professional surveyors and GIS practitioners depend on accurately positioned reference points to maintain consistency in spatial data across public and private projects. Verification of this station's physical condition and coordinates contributes to the integrity of regional survey networks.
