This trigonometric station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the horizontal and vertical control framework essential to surveying, mapping, and engineering projects throughout the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as primary control points for triangulation networks, enabling surveyors to reference their work to established geodetic datum. Located near Wallingford, Vermont, this point contributes to regional surveying infrastructure in the northeastern United States. The horizontal coordinates are precisely documented; elevation data remains unrecorded in current registry records. Verification and maintenance of such benchmarks remain important to surveying professionals, as these points provide stable reference values for cadastral surveys, construction projects, and spatial data collection. The NGS actively encourages field professionals to report the condition and accessibility of known stations to support ongoing geodetic documentation efforts.
