This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as precise horizontal control points, typically positioned at elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate observations between distant monuments. Located in the Nashville, Tennessee area at coordinates 36.14139° N, 86.68500° W, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure. Trig stations of this type are essential for surveyors and engineers requiring accurate horizontal positioning for land surveys, construction projects, and cartographic work. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for maintaining survey accuracy and continuity. Professional surveyors often rely on NGS benchmarks to establish local control networks and validate modern positioning methods. Current elevation data for this station should be obtained through official NGS resources for complete monument recovery information.
