This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which establishes accurate positional reference points across the United States. Triangulation (trig) stations serve as fundamental survey monuments, historically observed during triangulation campaigns to create the geodetic framework supporting mapping, engineering, and infrastructure projects. Located in Shaler Township, Pennsylvania, at coordinates 40.49474° N, 79.95883° W, this point contributes to regional positional control in western Pennsylvania. Trig stations of this class typically mark elevated or otherwise strategically located positions chosen for intervisibility with other network points. The continued verification and documentation of such geodetic monuments remains valuable for modern surveying applications. Current positioning technologies can be tied to established reference points, maintaining consistency between legacy surveys and contemporary work. Proper registry and maintenance of these stations supports the accuracy and continuity of the nation's geodetic infrastructure.
