This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which constitutes the primary geodetic infrastructure for the United States. Trig points serve as control stations for establishing accurate horizontal positions across survey networks. Located in the Alameda, California area at coordinates 37.76703°N, 122.25477°W, this benchmark provides essential positional reference data for regional surveying and mapping activities. Triangulation stations of this type historically anchored surveying operations by providing intervisible points with precisely determined coordinates. Modern surveyors and engineers rely on documented NGS control points to verify and validate survey work, ensure consistency across projects, and maintain the integrity of the national spatial reference system. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks remain valuable for confirming historical network data and supporting contemporary geodetic applications across engineering, construction, and geospatial disciplines.
