This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the foundational geodetic control for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located in the Oakland, California area, this trig point serves as a precisely positioned reference monument for horizontal control. Triangulation stations of this type historically formed the backbone of the national survey framework, enabling surveyors to conduct accurate measurements across regions and connect local surveys to the broader geodetic datum. The station's coordinates and elevation data, when available, provide essential reference values for professional surveying work, GIS applications, and infrastructure projects. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable to the surveying community. Even when elevation data is not recorded, the horizontal position maintains utility for establishing surveys and confirming monument stability. Regular inspection and maintenance of these stations help preserve the integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure.
