This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Cleveland, Ohio, at coordinates 41.48222° N, 81.70833° W, this trig point serves as a reference monument for horizontal control and survey work across the region. Triangulation stations function as precise positional references enabling surveyors, engineers, and cartographers to conduct accurate measurements and establish local coordinate systems. The NGS maintains these monuments as part of the National Spatial Reference System, supporting infrastructure development, boundary determination, and geographic information systems. Documentation and periodic verification of such benchmarks remain essential to geodetic practice. Even when elevation data may not be recorded, the horizontal coordinates provide valuable control information. Surveyors undertaking work in the Cleveland area may reference or recover this station to ensure consistency with established geodetic datums and maintain accuracy across multiple projects.
