This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's fundamental network, which establishes precise horizontal and vertical control across the continental United States. Trigonometric stations serve as reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects by providing accurately determined positions within the national geodetic datum. Located near Dundalk, Maryland, at coordinates 39.27814° north latitude and 76.51535° west longitude, this benchmark contributes to regional survey infrastructure in the Baltimore-Washington area. Trig stations of this type typically mark elevated or strategically positioned locations to facilitate inter-visibility and measurement during classical triangulation surveys. Documentation and periodic verification of such control points remain essential for maintaining geodetic network integrity, supporting boundary determinations, and ensuring consistency in modern GPS and survey-grade positioning work. This station's position within NGS records enables surveyors and engineers to reference reliable horizontal control for contemporary projects.
