This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational horizontal control for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Riverton, New Jersey, this trig point serves as a reference monument for precise coordinate determination in the region. Triangulation stations of this type have historically enabled surveyors to measure distances and angles across large areas, establishing accurate positional data for cadastral, engineering, and cartographic projects. The point's documented coordinates at 40.01861° N, 75.01360° W provide surveyors with a known reference for local and regional surveys. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for contemporary positioning work, particularly for projects requiring accuracy independent of satellite-based systems or as supplementary control. Maintaining records of these stations preserves institutional knowledge of the nation's geodetic infrastructure and supports continuity in surveying practices.
