This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental reference framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and occupied to extend precise horizontal control across regions and serve as base points for subsequent surveys. Located near Baltimore, Maryland, this benchmark occupies a position within the Mid-Atlantic geodetic infrastructure. The station's coordinates (39.25724°, -76.61005°) are referenced to the horizontal datum maintained by NGS. Trigonometric stations function as control points for professional surveyors conducting boundary surveys, engineering projects, and mapping activities. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for maintaining geodetic network integrity and supporting surveying operations. Current occupation and recovery of these marks help preserve the continuity of the control framework upon which regional surveys depend.
