This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which provides the foundational geodetic infrastructure for precise surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Wells, Maine, at latitude 43.30162° and longitude -70.58606°, this trig point serves as a positional reference for surveyors and engineers conducting surveys in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to create a network of precisely positioned monuments supporting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and mapping activities. As a published reference point within the NGS database, this benchmark enables surveyors to verify local coordinate systems and validate survey work through independent positioning checks. Documentation and preservation of such points remain valuable to the surveying profession. Periodic verification of existing marks helps maintain the integrity of the geodetic network and supports long-term reference continuity for property boundary establishment and infrastructure development. Surveyors working in this locality should consult current NGS records to confirm the mark's condition and accessibility.
