This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, at coordinates 35.08606° N, 106.62029° W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for regional surveys and GIS applications. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed to create interconnected networks of known positions, enabling surveyors to extend measurements across large areas with documented accuracy. The NGS network remains critical for modern surveying practice, providing reference points for boundary determinations, infrastructure projects, and spatial data verification. Documentation and periodic reobservation of such monuments ensures the integrity of the geodetic datum. Surveyors should verify current accessibility and physical condition before using any benchmark for professional work, as ground conditions may change over time.
