This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, the primary geodetic infrastructure supporting surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Baltimore, Maryland, at coordinates 39.34121°N, 76.63498°W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for local and regional surveying projects. Triangulation stations function as monumented survey marks established to provide accurate positional control across geographic areas. Their primary value lies in enabling surveyors and engineers to reference their work to the national coordinate system, ensuring consistency and accuracy in boundary determination, construction layout, and cartographic production. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. As these historic marks may experience movement or disturbance over time, periodic confirmation of their locations and condition supports the continued reliability of surveying operations throughout their service area.
