This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Positioned near Nashville, Tennessee at coordinates 36.15897°, -86.78156°, this trig point serves as a reference control station for horizontal positioning. Triangulation stations of this type provide monumented positions with known coordinates that surveyors and engineers rely upon to establish local surveys, property boundaries, and mapping projects. The NGS network represents decades of precise measurement work forming the backbone of American geodetic infrastructure. Verification and documentation of benchmark locations remain important for the surveying profession. Updated records ensure that surveyors can reliably access control points for contemporary projects. The preservation and accurate cataloging of such stations supports the continuity and integrity of the nation's geodetic datum.

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.

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.
