This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of reference points that forms the foundation of the United States' horizontal control system. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.09422°N, 106.72981°W, this benchmark serves as a precise spatial reference for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations like this were historically established to create networks of known positions, enabling surveyors to reference their work to a common datum. Modern applications include land surveys, infrastructure development, GIS applications, and geospatial analysis. The NGS maintains records of such control points to preserve their institutional and technical value. Verification and documentation of these benchmarks—including recovery of markers, confirmation of coordinates, and assessment of current condition—support the continued utility of the network for professional surveying and scientific applications.
