This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of precisely positioned reference points that form the foundation of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Trig stations serve as control points for surveying, mapping, and establishing accurate geographic coordinates across regions. Located in the Oakland, California area, this benchmark contributes to the horizontal control network for the Bay Area and surrounding regions. The coordinates provided establish its geographic position for reference by surveying professionals conducting boundary surveys, infrastructure projects, and geographic information system development. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national spatial reference framework and ensuring consistency in surveying work across jurisdictions. Professional surveyors rely on these established control points to tie their local measurements to the broader geodetic datum.
