This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the foundational geodetic control for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located in Sandoval County, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.23194° N, 106.58472° W, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning within the regional survey framework. Triangulation stations of this type were established to create intervisible networks of precisely located monuments. Such points enable surveyors to reference local work to the national geodetic datum and support accurate mapping, construction layout, and boundary determination. Documentation and verification of existing benchmarks remains essential for the surveying profession. Even points with incomplete records, such as this one lacking recorded elevation data, represent valuable positional control. Surveyors working in this region should conduct field verification to confirm monument condition and establish current elevation measurements, contributing to the integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure.
