This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the fundamental framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Lexington, Kentucky, this trig point serves as a precisely positioned reference for horizontal and vertical control. The ellipsoidal elevation of 249.7 meters establishes a three-dimensional coordinate reference within the NGS geodetic datum. Trig stations of this class are typically established on elevated or prominent locations to facilitate intervisibility with other control points across regional networks. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain essential for surveying professionals undertaking boundary surveys, engineering projects, and geospatial analysis. Maintenance of these reference points ensures the continued integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure and supports accurate positioning for both historical and contemporary surveying operations.
