This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points establishing the horizontal geodetic framework across the United States. Located near Vancouver, Washington, at coordinates 45.59892°N, -122.55146°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for precise surveying and mapping operations in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide surveyors and engineers with monumented positions of known and verified location. Such points support boundary surveys, infrastructure development, and large-scale mapping projects. The NGS maintains records of these stations to enable surveyors to recover and reoccupy them for contemporary work. Documentation and periodic verification of geodetic monuments ensure the integrity of the control network and support continued access to reliable positional references. Recovery and documentation of existing NGS stations contribute to maintaining this essential surveying infrastructure.
