This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of the United States' surveying and mapping infrastructure. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.05917°N, 106.55028°W, this trig point serves as a reference for establishing accurate horizontal positions across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and calculated to create a framework supporting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work. Modern surveyors and GIS professionals rely on documented benchmarks to validate local coordinate systems and ensure consistency in spatial data collection. Verification and maintenance of such control points remains valuable for quality assurance in professional surveying practice, even as GPS and contemporary positioning technologies have supplemented traditional methods. Documentation of existing marks supports continuity in geodetic infrastructure.
