RIVER — NGS CE0517 — El Paso, US

This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Located near El Paso, Texas at coordinates 31.73474°N, 106.38403°W, this trig point serves as a fixed reference for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and integrated into the national network to provide precise horizontal control for large-scale surveying projects. Modern surveyors and geodesists rely on documented benchmark locations to verify survey work, establish local control networks, and validate contemporary positioning techniques. Maintaining accurate records of such points—including their coordinates and accessibility—ensures continuity of the geodetic infrastructure and supports professional surveying standards. Verification of existing benchmarks remains valuable for quality assurance in surveying practice and for understanding historical survey methodologies and accuracy.
