Q 460 — NGS CE0229 — El Paso, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's trig network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near El Paso, Texas, at coordinates 31.78761°N, 106.52533°W, this point serves as a precise reference for horizontal control in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were integral to establishing accurate positional networks across the country. Such monuments provide surveyors, engineers, and mapmakers with reliable control points for detailed work in cadastral surveys, construction projects, and geographic information systems. Documenting and verifying the continued existence and integrity of these benchmarks remains valuable for maintaining survey control quality. Even when elevation data is not recorded, horizontal coordinates from established trig stations offer essential reference values for professional surveying operations in areas where such infrastructure may be limited or historical.
