This is a triangulation (trig) station belonging to the National Geodetic Survey's network, positioned in Braxton County, West Virginia at 38.78964° north latitude and 80.57183° west longitude. Trig stations served as primary control points for establishing accurate horizontal positions across the United States during the development and maintenance of the national geodetic framework. These monuments were historically sighted between multiple locations to create networks of known coordinates, which then supported local surveying and mapping projects. The point's location in central West Virginia places it within the Appalachian region. Documentation and verification of such control points remain valuable for surveying professionals conducting land surveys, engineering projects, and geospatial analysis. Maintaining accurate records of these reference monuments ensures the integrity of the geodetic datum and supports continued access to reliable positional control for surveying work.
