This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic control for the United States. Trig stations serve as horizontal control points for surveying and mapping activities, providing reference coordinates for subsequent surveys and engineering projects. Located near Fairmont, West Virginia, this benchmark occupies a position within the eastern United States geodetic framework. The station's published coordinates of 39.47734° N, 80.12509° W establish a fixed horizontal reference point for regional surveying work. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining survey accuracy standards and ensuring continuity in geodetic infrastructure. Surveyors and engineers rely on properly maintained reference stations when establishing local surveys, infrastructure projects, and spatial data collection efforts. Current condition assessment and coordinate confirmation of existing NGS stations support the ongoing reliability of the national geodetic network.

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.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
