This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental control network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. As a trig point, this station was established to provide precise horizontal control through intervisible networks of surveyed stations, enabling accurate determination of positions across large areas. Located near Atlanta, Georgia at coordinates 33.80214°, -84.39575°, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure serving surveying, engineering, and mapping applications. The station's position within the NGS network allows surveyors to reference their local work to the national datum. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Surveyors routinely occupy these stations to recover their positions, assess their stability, and connect contemporary survey work to the established reference framework. Regular inspection ensures continued utility for professional surveying activities across the region.
