This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which maintains fundamental control points essential to the United States geodetic infrastructure. Triangulation (trig) stations serve as primary control points for establishing accurate horizontal positions across regional and national surveying projects. Located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.18666° N, 106.47166° W, this benchmark contributes to geodetic control in the Rio Grande valley region. Trig stations of this type were historically established to support large-scale mapping and engineering surveys through intervisible networks of precisely measured positions. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for modern surveyors, engineers, and GIS professionals who rely on established geodetic frameworks. Locating and recovering these monuments helps maintain continuity in surveying networks and supports quality assurance in contemporary positioning work.
