This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundational framework for geodetic control across the United States. As a trig point, this station was established to serve as a primary control reference for surveying and mapping operations. Located near Towson, Maryland at coordinates 39.33374°N, 76.74112°W, the station occupies a position within the Mid-Atlantic region's surveying infrastructure. Trig stations function as monumented points with precisely determined positions, enabling surveyors and cartographers to reference their local work to the national coordinate system. The verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain essential for maintaining survey accuracy, conducting geospatial analysis, and supporting infrastructure development. Professional surveyors rely on establishing connections to NGS control points to ensure consistency and reliability in their measurements and mapping projects.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
