This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Lexington, Kentucky at coordinates 38.06056°N, 84.51583°W, this trig point serves as a reference for precise positioning and surveying operations across its region. Triangulation stations like this were historically established to create accurate horizontal control networks through intervisible sight lines between elevated stations. Modern surveyors and engineers reference such points for boundary determinations, mapping projects, and infrastructure development. The station's position in Kentucky's central region makes it valuable for local and regional survey work. Documentation and periodic verification of benchmark locations ensure the integrity of the geodetic infrastructure. Surveyors benefit from accurate, well-maintained reference points when establishing new projects or verifying existing surveys. The NGS maintains records of such stations to support professional surveying practice and public works nationwide.
