GOVE — NGS RD2848 — Multnomah County, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental control network that establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Multnomah County, Oregon, at coordinates 45.57062° N, 122.51704° W, this trigonometric point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning in the region. Triangulation stations such as this historically formed the backbone of geodetic control before modern satellite-based systems. These points remain valuable for verification, densification of control networks, and projects requiring independent confirmation of coordinate systems. The preservation and documentation of existing trigonometric stations supports continuity in surveying practice and provides redundancy in positional reference infrastructure. Surveyors and geodesists benefit from locating and re-occupying such benchmarks to validate measurements and establish local control networks. Verifying the continued stability and accessibility of these points ensures their ongoing utility for professional surveying work.
