This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Atlanta, Georgia at coordinates 33.78692°, -84.42998°, this trig point served as a control station for precise horizontal positioning during survey operations. Triangulation stations of this classification were historically instrumental in creating interconnected networks of known positions across regions, enabling surveyors and mapmakers to reference their work to a common datum. Such points remain valuable for verifying survey accuracy, establishing local control networks, and documenting the nation's geodetic infrastructure. Modern practitioners often reference these legacy stations to assess survey quality, detect crustal movements, or restore lost survey monuments. Even without recorded elevation data, the horizontal coordinates and documented location provide essential reference value for professional surveying work in the Atlanta metropolitan area and surrounding regions.
