This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Triangulation stations serve as control points for horizontal positioning, enabling surveyors and mappers to reference their work to a consistent, nationwide coordinate system. Located near Oakland, California, at coordinates 37.78889° N, 122.24111° W, this point contributes to geodetic control in the San Francisco Bay Area region. The station's designation as a trig point reflects its historical role in a terrestrial survey network, though modern positioning methods now supplement traditional triangulation. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveyors requiring high-accuracy reference points and for maintaining continuity with established survey networks. Professionals conducting work in this area should verify current monument condition and coordinates through NGS databases before field use.

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.
