PITTOCK — NGS RD3067 — Portland, US

This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the foundational geodetic control for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Portland, Oregon, at coordinates 45.52658°N, 122.71361°W, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning in the Willamette Valley region. Triangulation stations of this type historically formed the backbone of precise surveying networks by providing intervisible points for angular measurements and distance calculations. Modern surveyors and engineers continue to utilize established control points for project development, boundary determination, and coordinate verification. Documentation and periodic verification of such benchmarks remain important for maintaining geodetic infrastructure integrity. Even points with missing elevation data contribute value to the control network when their horizontal coordinates are reliably established and recoverable in the field.
