This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Trig points serve as precisely positioned reference stations used to support cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geodetic measurements. Located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this benchmark contributes to regional positional control in the Mid-Atlantic area. The coordinate values provided establish its horizontal position within the national datum. Documentation and verification of such control points remain essential for surveyors, cartographers, and engineers who depend on accurate reference positions for professional work. Preservation of benchmark records ensures continued access to established geodetic control and facilitates the maintenance of survey accuracy standards across jurisdictional boundaries and over time.
