# HUNTS POINT GAS PLANT W CHIM — NGS KU3830 — New York, US NGS triangulation station KU3830 is located at Hunts Point in the Bronx, New York (40.8046°N, 73.8739°W), established as a third-order trig point within the National Spatial Reference System. The benchmark, positioned at the western chimney of the Hunts Point Gas Plant facility, provides horizontal control for regional geodetic networks in the New York metropolitan area. This point supports static GNSS observations for network densification, RTK base station establishment, and precise leveling operations. The station's proximity to critical infrastructure and established monumentation makes it suitable for validating local survey networks and supporting engineering projects requiring ties to the national datum. Current monument condition and accessibility should be verified through NGS records prior to field operations.
