This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational reference framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at coordinates 40.49403°, -80.01918°, this trig point serves as a control station for horizontal positioning in western Pennsylvania. Triangulation stations of this type were integral to NGS efforts to create accurate geodetic control networks across the nation. Such points enable surveyors, engineers, and mapping professionals to reference their local work to a consistent national datum. The location in this densely surveyed region of Pennsylvania reflects the historical importance of establishing reliable control for both urban and regional surveying projects. Verification and documentation of existing benchmark locations remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network and supporting contemporary surveying operations that depend on stable reference points.
