This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the fundamental horizontal geodetic framework for the United States. Located in the Fresno, California region at coordinates 36.73667° N, 119.78917° W, this trig point serves as a precise reference for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across its local area and beyond. Trig stations like this one historically formed the backbone of accurate surveying work, enabling surveyors to establish local control networks with high precision. Their positions have been determined through careful geodetic measurements and are maintained in the NGS database as permanent references. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for confirming coordinate accuracy, supporting infrastructure projects, and preserving the integrity of the national geodetic datum. Professional surveyors routinely consult NGS benchmark data when establishing survey control or validating measurements in the field.
