This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's trig point network, which forms a foundational component of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.14577° N, 106.63338° W, this reference point serves as a precise horizontal control station for surveying and mapping activities. Trig stations of this type were established to create a network of accurately positioned points across the country, enabling surveyors and engineers to conduct accurate land surveys, construct infrastructure, and maintain spatial databases. The NGS network remains essential for modern applications including GPS calibration, large-scale engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks preserve critical geodetic information and ensure the continued accuracy of survey work in the region. Surveyors conducting work in central New Mexico may reference this station as part of their control network establishment.
