This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. As a trig point, this benchmark serves as a fundamental control station for horizontal positioning, enabling surveyors and geodesists to reference their local measurements to the national coordinate system. Located in Taylor County, West Virginia, at coordinates 39.30445°N, 80.15610°W, this point contributes to regional survey control density. Trig stations of this type historically supported cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic efforts throughout their operational periods. The verification and documentation of such reference points remain valuable for surveyors requiring reliable positional control. Even when elevation data remains unavailable, the horizontal coordinates provide essential reference information for professional surveying activities in the area. Maintaining current information about NGS control points supports the continuity of accurate surveying practice.
