This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which provides the foundational geodetic control for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Lewis County, West Virginia at coordinates 39.01556°N, -80.37791°W, this trig point serves as a horizontal reference station for regional survey work and spatial positioning activities. Triangulation stations of this type historically supported the establishment of accurate horizontal datums through intervisible networks of marked points. Modern surveyors and GIS professionals rely on documented benchmark locations to maintain coordinate system consistency and validate survey-grade positioning data. The elevation for this station has not been recorded in available documentation. Verification and field inspection of such established control points remain valuable for confirming monumentation integrity, refining local geodetic models, and supporting infrastructure projects requiring precise spatial reference within the region.
