This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the primary geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Oakland, California at coordinates 37.75500°, -122.20167°, this trig point serves as a reference monument for horizontal control surveys throughout the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and computed to form networks of precisely-positioned points. They provide essential references for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and mapping activities. The NGS network supports accurate positioning for infrastructure development, land boundary determination, and geospatial data collection. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveyors and geodesists, particularly in areas of significant development or where historical control may be obscured. Confirming the continued existence and accessibility of these monuments helps maintain the integrity of the regional geodetic framework and ensures reliable reference points for future surveying work.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
