This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control infrastructure for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Portland, Oregon at coordinates 45.52660°N, 122.68133°W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for regional surveys and engineering projects. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to provide precise positional control across the landscape. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remains valuable for surveyors requiring high-accuracy reference points. Modern positioning technologies complement but do not eliminate the utility of established control networks for local and detailed survey work. Accurate records of these geodetic monuments support land boundary determination, infrastructure development, and scientific research. Proper maintenance and recognition of such control points contributes to the reliability of surveying practice in the region.
