This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control points for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Multnomah County, Oregon, at coordinates 45.56620° N, 122.45321° W, this trig point serves as a reference for local and regional geodetic work. The ellipsoidal elevation of -8.0 meters places the station below the reference ellipsoid, typical for points in low-lying areas. Trig stations of this type provide precise horizontal and vertical control essential for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain critical for maintaining survey accuracy and integrity across generations of surveying work. Professional surveyors rely on these established control points to ensure consistency and reliability in their measurements and spatial data.
