This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control framework for the United States. Trig stations serve as fixed reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across the country. Located near Portland, Oregon at coordinates 45.52028°, -122.67194°, this benchmark contributes to the regional control network in the Pacific Northwest. As a trig point, it was historically used for horizontal positioning control through triangulation methods. Documentation and verification of such points remain valuable for surveyors and engineers requiring accurate spatial reference data. Even when elevation data is unavailable, the horizontal coordinates provide essential control information. Maintaining records of these stations supports continuity in surveying operations and ensures consistency across large-scale mapping and infrastructure projects.
