This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the primary geometric framework for positioning and mapping across the United States. Located near Portland, Oregon, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal control surveys and precise coordinate determination in the region. Triangulation stations of this classification historically provided fundamental geodetic control by enabling surveyors to measure distances and angles to establish accurate horizontal positions for secondary and tertiary survey networks. The coordinates and location of this benchmark remain valuable for validating modern positioning methods, including GPS and contemporary survey work. Verification and proper documentation of such control points support the integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure and assist surveyors, engineers, and mapping professionals in executing precise work. Confirmation of monumentation status and accessibility enhances the utility of this reference point for future surveys and spatial projects in the Portland metropolitan area.
