This triangulation station is part of the NGS national geodetic network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Harrison County, West Virginia at coordinates 39.33024°N, 80.56002°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal control. Triangulation stations function as precisely positioned monuments that enable surveyors and cartographers to conduct accurate measurements and spatial referencing. The NGS network comprises thousands of such control points distributed nationwide, forming the backbone of the National Spatial Reference System. Verification and documentation of these reference monuments remains essential for maintaining geodetic infrastructure integrity. Modern surveys depend on access to reliable, well-documented control points. Professionals utilizing this station should verify its current condition and accessibility before field work, as monument stability can be affected by environmental and anthropogenic factors over time.
