This geodetic trig point is part of the NGS network, which maintains the foundational control framework for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Austin, Texas at coordinates 30.28443°, -97.73050°, this triangulation station serves as a reference point for horizontal control surveys in the region. Trig stations of this type were established to support precise positional data across large areas through intervisible networks. Such monuments enable surveyors and engineers to conduct accurate boundary surveys, construction layout, and infrastructure development with traceable geodetic connections. Verification and documentation of these reference points remains important for maintaining the integrity of local and regional survey networks. Even historical monuments without recorded elevation data provide valuable horizontal control information. Professional surveyors may reference or recover such points to establish connections between modern positioning methods and existing cadastral networks in central Texas.
