This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the geometric framework for surveying and mapping activities throughout the United States. Trig stations serve as control points for precise horizontal positioning, enabling surveyors and cartographers to reference their local measurements to a national coordinate system. Located near Portland, Oregon, at coordinates 45.52861°N, 122.67639°W, this point contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure of the Pacific Northwest. The absence of recorded elevation data suggests the need for verification or supplementary documentation by field surveyors. Proper identification and maintenance of such benchmarks is critical for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and map accuracy. Surveyors undertaking work in this area are encouraged to locate and document the physical monument, verify its condition, and report findings to NGS to support continued integrity of the national geodetic database.
