This is a triangulation station (trig point) within the NGS network, positioned near Nashville, Tennessee at coordinates 36.12528° N, 86.68722° W. Triangulation stations serve as fundamental control points for the National Geodetic Survey's systematic coverage of the United States, establishing horizontal positions of high accuracy for regional and local surveying projects. Such points historically provided essential reference geometry for mapmaking and engineering works. The trig network remains valuable for verification of modern survey data, especially in areas where GPS observations may require ground validation or where legacy surveying information requires correlation with contemporary coordinate systems. Professional surveyors regularly consult these established control points to ensure consistency and accuracy in boundary surveys, infrastructure projects, and geodetic studies. Documentation and maintenance of these reference marks contributes to the overall integrity of the nation's spatial data infrastructure.
