This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control for the United States. Trigonometric points such as this serve as primary reference stations for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects requiring precise horizontal and vertical positioning. Located near Eliot, Maine, at latitude 43.14207° north and longitude 70.76980° west, this benchmark provides essential geodetic control for the New England region. The ellipsoidal elevation of 6.5 meters reflects the point's vertical position relative to the reference ellipsoid. Documentation and periodic verification of control points like this are critical for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the National Spatial Reference System. Surveyors and mapping professionals depend on established benchmarks for calibrating instruments, validating survey networks, and ensuring consistency across multiple projects. Preservation of such reference monuments supports the long-term integrity of surveying infrastructure.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
