This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic control framework for the United States. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points used to support surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across regional areas. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, this benchmark provides horizontal control at coordinates 35.10058°N, -106.57747°W. Trig points of this type were historically established through intervisible networks connecting distant stations, enabling surveyors to extend accurate positional data across the landscape. Modern surveyors and geospatial professionals rely on documented benchmarks to validate survey work, establish local coordinate systems, and ensure consistency in large-scale projects. Verification and proper documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure and supporting accurate land records.
