This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which provides fundamental horizontal control for the United States' surveying and mapping infrastructure. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.08358°N, -106.65283°W, this point serves as a reference for geodetic measurements and positioning work across the region. Trig stations function as stable, monumented positions with known coordinates, enabling surveyors and engineers to establish local survey networks and conduct precise measurements for construction, land surveying, and mapping projects. The NGS maintains detailed records of such points to ensure the continuity and accuracy of the national geodetic datum. Documentation and verification of benchmark locations remain essential for professional surveying practice, particularly as technology evolves and control networks are updated or densified.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
