This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundation of the United States' horizontal and vertical control infrastructure. Trig stations serve as precisely surveyed reference points used to establish accurate positions for mapping, engineering projects, and cadastral surveys. Located near Coronado, California, at coordinates 32.69878° N, 117.22232° W, this point contributes to regional geodetic framework in San Diego County. Such monumented stations enable surveyors and engineers to reference their work to a consistent national datum. Documentation and periodic verification of these control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Modern GNSS technology has supplemented but not replaced classical triangulation stations, which continue to provide reliable reference values for local surveys and infrastructure development.
