This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the fundamental reference framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. As a trig point, it served as a control station for horizontal position determination through triangulation methods, a core technique in classical geodetic surveying. Located near North Berwick, Maine, at coordinates 43.30778° N, 70.72222° W, this point contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure of southern Maine. Trig stations of this type typically occupy elevated or prominent locations to facilitate line-of-sight measurements between distant control points. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveying professionals conducting property surveys, infrastructure projects, and geodetic work. Even when elevation data is not recorded, the horizontal position coordinates provide essential reference information for establishing local survey networks and validating modern positioning techniques against historical geodetic control.
