# RIDGEFIELD PARK BELL TOWER — NGS KV3933 RIDGEFIELD PARK BELL TOWER (40.8561°N, 74.0246°W) is a third-order triangulation station established by the National Geodetic Survey in New Jersey's Bergen County. Located at the bell tower structure in Ridgefield Park, this monumented trig point serves as a horizontal control station for regional surveying operations. The station supports RTK base station establishment, static GNSS sessions for network densification, and conventional surveying ties to local detail. Historical observations and modern GNSS data provide reliable reference geometry for engineering surveys, property boundary work, and infrastructure projects throughout the northern New Jersey corridor. Surveyors should verify current monument condition and accessibility before field operations.
