This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of fundamental control points that establish the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Oakland, California, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning in the San Francisco Bay Area region. Triangulation stations of this classification were established to provide surveyors and engineers with accurately positioned monuments for establishing local surveys, property boundaries, and infrastructure projects. The coordinates and elevation data associated with such points enable connection of local surveys to the national geodetic datum. Documentation and verification of benchmark stations like this one contribute significantly to maintaining the integrity of the nation's surveying infrastructure. Surveying professionals rely on these reference points to ensure consistency and accuracy in their work. Regular monitoring and recovery of such monuments helps preserve critical positional data for future surveying operations.
