This NGS trigonometric station is situated near Carnegie, Pennsylvania, and serves as a control point within the National Geodetic Survey's network that forms the foundation of horizontal positioning across the United States. Trigonometric stations of this type were historically established to provide precise geodetic control for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects requiring accurate coordinate reference. The station's location at 40.41639° N, 80.08278° W places it in southwestern Pennsylvania. As with all NGS benchmarks, verification and documentation of this point's current condition and accessibility remains valuable for surveyors and engineers conducting work requiring tie to the national geodetic datum. The absence of recorded elevation data indicates the need for potential field verification. Maintaining an accurate inventory of such control points ensures continuity of surveying practice and supports infrastructure development throughout the region.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
