# PROSPECT HILL 1905 — NGS KU3697 PROSPECT HILL 1905 is a triangulation station established in 1905 and monumented in Pelham Manor, New York (40.8891°N, 73.8107°W, elevation 34.0 m). Designated NGS control point KU3697, this trigonometric station supports classical geodetic network densification and serves as a reference for regional survey operations. The benchmark enables precise static GNSS sessions for coordinate determination and provides vertical control for differential leveling campaigns. Modern surveyors utilize this point for RTK base station establishment and validation of local survey networks. As a legacy NGS station, it contributes historical geodetic continuity while accommodating contemporary positioning applications requiring sub-decimeter accuracy and reliable vertical reference data.
