This is a triangulation station within the National Geodetic Survey network, which forms the foundation of horizontal geodetic control across the United States. Triangulation stations are monumented points established to provide accurate horizontal coordinates for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects at local and regional scales. Located in San Diego County, California, this benchmark serves the geodetic infrastructure of the southwestern coastal region. As a trig point, it was positioned to be intervisible with other control stations, enabling the development of precise survey networks through triangulation methods. The coordinates and network affiliation are documented in the NGS database, providing surveyors and geospatial professionals with a reliable reference for establishing local control. Verification and documentation of such points remain essential for maintaining geodetic accuracy and ensuring consistency across multiple surveying projects in the region.
