This triangulation station represents part of the National Geodetic Survey's foundational control network that establishes horizontal reference coordinates across the United States. Located in Doddridge County, West Virginia, at 39.40472° north latitude and 80.68722° west longitude, this trig point served the historical surveying practice of extending precise positional data across regions through intervisible monumentation. Triangulation stations of this type provided essential framework for topographic mapping, property boundary definition, and subsequent GPS network development. The NGS maintains records of such points to preserve geodetic continuity and enable resurveys that verify stability or detect crustal movement. Modern surveyors and geodesists reference these monuments when establishing local survey networks or validating contemporary measurements. Documentation and periodic verification of benchmark conditions remain valuable for maintaining the integrity of the national spatial reference system.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
