This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's legacy network, which established foundational control for precise surveying and mapping across the United States. Trig stations such as this served as primary horizontal control points, enabling surveyors to reference their work to a national geodetic datum. Located in the Alameda, California area, this benchmark contributes to the regional control network for the San Francisco Bay Area. The coordinates provided reflect its position within the National Spatial Reference System. Triangulation stations were typically established at elevated or prominent locations to facilitate intervisibility with other control points. Verification and maintenance of such geodetic references remain important for validating modern survey work, particularly in regions where land use and development require accurate positional control. Documentation of these historical points ensures continuity of the geodetic infrastructure and supports quality assurance in professional surveying practice.

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.
