H 1072 — NGS CE0043 — El Paso, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental network, which provides the geometric framework for precise surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near El Paso, Texas, at coordinates 31.76889° N, 106.41422° W, this trig point serves as a control station for horizontal positioning in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to create networks of accurately positioned points visible from distant locations. These monuments form the backbone of the national spatial reference system, enabling surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to conduct precise measurements and establish local surveys with known accuracy. Verification and documentation of such benchmark stations remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic infrastructure. Current positioning technologies benefit from these historical control points, which continue to provide valuable reference data for regional surveys and engineering projects throughout the El Paso area and surrounding territories.
