This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control for the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.05826°, -106.60457°, this trig point serves as a reference station for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type historically provided primary horizontal control by connecting observed points through geometric networks. Such benchmarks remain valuable for verifying the accuracy and stability of modern surveying infrastructure, including GPS networks and local survey projects. Documentation and periodic re-observation of these points help establish long-term crustal deformation data and ensure consistency within the national spatial reference framework. Surveyors and engineers continue to reference such control points during precision work, making their preservation and accurate characterization essential to the integrity of cadastral and engineering surveys throughout New Mexico and the broader Southwest.
