This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the fundamental horizontal geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico at coordinates 35.20923°N, 106.60513°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and monumented to provide precise positional control through geometric methods. The NGS maintains records of such points to support cadastral surveys, infrastructure development, and scientific applications requiring accurate spatial reference. Verification and documentation of existing benchmark locations remain valuable for ensuring continuity of the geodetic network and enabling surveyors to connect local measurements to the national datum. Regular inspection and condition assessment of these monuments help preserve their utility for future surveying activities.
