This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Triangulation stations serve as fixed reference points for determining positions and elevations across broad areas, enabling accurate delineation of property boundaries, infrastructure development, and geographic information systems. Located in Marion County, West Virginia, at coordinates 39.44139° N, 80.09333° W, this trig point contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure of the Appalachian region. Verification and documentation of such control stations remain valuable to the surveying profession, as these monuments anchor local surveys to the national coordinate system. Surveyors and mapping professionals depend upon confirmed positions and physical accessibility of established benchmarks. The continued maintenance and validation of NGS control points supports accurate spatial referencing for engineering, construction, and land administration activities across the region.
