This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which provides fundamental geodetic control for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as primary reference points for establishing accurate horizontal positions across large areas. Located near Oakland, California, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure in the San Francisco Bay Area. Trigonometric stations are monumented points whose positions have been precisely determined through systematic survey observations. They anchor local and regional survey networks, enabling surveyors and engineers to reference their work to a consistent national datum. Verification and documentation of such points remain valuable for maintaining geodetic accuracy, particularly as survey technology evolves. Updated coordinate confirmations help sustain the integrity of existing survey records and support modern positioning applications that rely on established reference frameworks.

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.
