This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the geometric and geodetic framework for the United States. Trigonometric stations like this one serve as reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across local, regional, and national scales. Located in western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh, this benchmark provides positional and vertical control for the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area and surrounding regions. The published ellipsoidal elevation of 313.8 meters contributes to the three-dimensional accuracy of the geodetic datum. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national spatial reference system and supporting modern surveying applications, including GPS-based positioning and cadastral work. Regular monumentation inspections ensure these foundational geodetic references continue to serve professional surveying communities effectively.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
