SATSUMA MICROWAVE TOWER — NGS AW6902 — Harris County, US

This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which serves as the foundational geodetic control for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Harris County, Texas, at coordinates 29.91223° N, 95.61755° W, this trig point functions as a fixed reference station for establishing horizontal positions with high precision. Triangulation stations like this are integral to the national spatial reference framework, enabling surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to tie their local measurements to a consistent datum. Such control points support infrastructure development, land surveying, and geospatial analysis across regions. Documentation and periodic verification of benchmark locations remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Even where elevation data are not recorded, the horizontal coordinates provide valuable reference value for professional surveying operations in the Houston metropolitan area and surrounding counties.
