This is a triangulation station within the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control for the United States. The trig point type indicates it was used as a control station for triangulation surveys, forming part of the spatial reference framework upon which cadastral, engineering, and scientific measurements depend. Located at coordinates 18.45263°N, 64.75124°W, this station is positioned in US territory. As a component of NGS's legacy control network, this benchmark provides vertical and horizontal reference data essential for surveyors and engineers conducting positioning work. The absence of recorded elevation data and limited contextual information underscores the importance of field verification and proper documentation. Maintaining accurate records of such control points ensures the integrity of the geodetic infrastructure and supports continued access to reliable positional references for future surveying operations and spatial data projects.
