# QUEENS 1 — NGS KU1126 — New York, US QUEENS 1 (NGS designation KU1126) is a triangulation station established in Queens, New York at 40.7603°N, 73.7581°W, with published elevation 6.1 meters. As a trig-class benchmark, this point serves as a fundamental control station for high-accuracy surveying operations in the New York metropolitan area. The station supports precise geodetic work including static GNSS sessions for network densification, RTK positioning applications requiring known reference coordinates, and vertical control establishment through differential leveling campaigns. Its location within an urban area and established NGS pedigree make it valuable for large-scale construction surveys, municipal infrastructure projects, and geodetic network maintenance. Surveyors should verify current accessibility and mark stability before field operations.
