This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which maintains the fundamental geodetic infrastructure supporting surveying, mapping, and positioning activities across the United States. Triangulation (trig) stations serve as precisely positioned control points established through classical geodetic methods, providing reference coordinates for subsequent surveys and engineering projects. Located near Lafayette in the San Francisco Bay Area region of California, this benchmark contributes to regional horizontal control. The station's coordinates, 37.89567° N, 122.08494° W, have been registered in the NGS database for use by surveyors, engineers, and GIS professionals. Verification and documentation of existing control points remains essential for maintaining the integrity of the national spatial reference system and ensuring consistency across surveying operations. Practitioners should consult the official NGS records for complete monumentation details and any pertinent survey history.
