This triangulation station represents a component of the National Geodetic Survey's classical control network, which established the foundational reference framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Kittery, Maine, at coordinates 43.08666° N, 70.68844° W, this trig point served as a precisely positioned monument for horizontal control surveys. Such stations were historically occupied during theodolite observations to extend and strengthen geodetic networks across regions. The point's continued documentation and verification remain valuable for surveyors conducting boundary work, infrastructure projects, and GPS-based surveys that require tie-in to established control. Maintenance of accurate records for existing benchmarks supports quality assurance in surveying practice and helps preserve the institutional knowledge of the nation's geodetic infrastructure.
