This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control framework for the United States and its territories. Located in the Saint Croix District of the United States Virgin Islands, this trig point serves as a precise horizontal and vertical reference for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across the region. The ellipsoidal elevation of -25.4 meters indicates a submarine position, typical for control points extending the geodetic network into offshore areas. Triangulation stations of this type have historically provided essential spatial reference data for cadastral surveys, infrastructure development, and scientific investigations. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain critical for maintaining datum consistency, validating modern satellite positioning systems, and ensuring the accuracy of regional surveys and mapping initiatives throughout the territory.
