This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control framework for surveying, mapping, and geographic information systems throughout the United States. Trig stations serve as monumented reference points from which surveyors measure distances and angles to establish local coordinates and elevations. Located near Portland, Oregon, this point contributes to regional geodetic control in the Pacific Northwest. The station's precise horizontal coordinates are documented in the NGS database, enabling surveyors and engineers to tie their local measurements to the national datum. Verification and maintenance of such control points remains essential for ensuring consistency in surveying work, infrastructure development, and boundary establishment. Professional surveyors rely on established trig stations to validate measurements and reduce accumulated positional errors in their projects.
