J 1072 — NGS CE0042 — El Paso, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. As a trig point, it served as a control station in horizontal positioning networks, providing precise coordinate references for surveyors conducting cadastral, engineering, and cartographic work. Located near El Paso, Texas at 31.76250°N, 106.39917°W, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure in the southwestern United States. Trig stations of this type were historically observed and recovered to maintain positional accuracy across large areas, supporting public land surveys, infrastructure development, and geographic information systems. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for surveyors conducting boundary work, construction projects, and datum transformations. Current GPS and modern surveying methods can reference historical trig stations to validate network integrity and assess any positional changes over time.
