This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's control network, which establishes the fundamental reference framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Portland, Oregon, at coordinates 45.53748° N, 122.70722° W, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for horizontal positioning of surveys in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide accurate control points for large-scale surveying operations and cartographic projects. Such monuments enable surveyors and engineers to tie local surveys to the national geodetic datum, ensuring spatial consistency and interoperability of spatial data across jurisdictions. Verification and documentation of existing control points remains valuable for the surveying community, as these references support land surveying, infrastructure development, and geospatial analysis. Maintaining accurate records of established control points helps preserve institutional knowledge and supports the continuity of surveying practices.
