This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Trig stations serve as control points for horizontal positioning and are typically monumented with brass or aluminum markers set in stable ground. Located near Atlanta, Georgia, at coordinates 33.77371° N, 84.37111° W, this point contributes to regional survey accuracy and supports mapping, engineering, and land surveying activities across the Southeast. The elevation value remains unrecorded in current registry data. Verification and documentation of such control points are essential for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Surveyors and engineers depend on accurate reference points to establish local datums and validate survey work. Regular checks ensure these monuments remain undisturbed and reliable for future measurements and adjustments to geodetic standards.
