# EXECUTION ROCKS LIGHTHOUSE — NGS KU3086 — Nassau County, US Execution Rocks Lighthouse NGS control station KU3086 (40.8781°N, 73.7377°W) is a third-order triangulation point established in Nassau County supporting coastal survey operations in the Long Island Sound region. The station provides horizontal geodetic control for RTK positioning networks, static GNSS sessions, and conventional traverse work in areas requiring precise shoreline mapping and hydrographic surveying. This benchmark facilitates network densification across the New York coastal zone and serves as a tie point for local survey projects requiring vertical and horizontal datum references. The trig station's elevated position enables effective sightline geometry for classical triangulation methods and modern GNSS baseline measurements.
