This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's trig network, which establishes the foundational control points for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at coordinates 40.47470° N, 79.89250° W, this point serves as a horizontal reference for regional geodetic work. Triangulation stations of this classification were historically observed and computed to support large-scale surveys and cadastral mapping. The trig network remains valuable for verifying modern positioning methods, establishing local coordinate systems, and conducting precision surveys requiring connection to national datums. Current verification and documentation of such benchmark locations is essential for maintaining geodetic infrastructure continuity. Surveyors and engineers rely on these established control points to ensure accuracy in infrastructure projects, land records, and geospatial applications. Access to reliable horizontal control in the Pittsburgh region supports both public and private surveying endeavors.
