This is a triangulation station within the National Geodetic Survey's network, a foundational component of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Located near Lexington, Kentucky, this trig point serves as a reference station for precise horizontal and vertical control in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to provide accurate positional data across the country and continue to support surveying, mapping, and engineering projects. The ellipsoidal elevation of 260.3 meters establishes vertical control relative to the current geodetic datum. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining survey network integrity, ensuring consistency in land records, construction projects, and geographic information systems across the Commonwealth and beyond.
