This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which serves as the foundational control system for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Lexington, Kentucky, at coordinates 38.03504°, -84.45050°, this trig point functions as a horizontal control reference for establishing accurate positions in regional surveys and engineering projects. Triangulation stations of this class were historically established to create a framework of precisely known points across the country. Such monuments enable surveyors to verify measurements, reduce accumulated errors in chainwork, and provide reliable datums for property boundary work, infrastructure development, and cartographic applications. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks remain essential to the surveying profession. These reference points anchor modern positioning work and help maintain the continuity of the geodetic network as surveying technologies evolve. The coordinates and monumentation details recorded in the registry facilitate their recovery and reuse in contemporary surveying practice.
