This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Trig stations of this classification serve as primary control points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects requiring high-precision horizontal positioning. Located near Atlanta, Georgia, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic control in the southeastern United States. The coordinates 33.76347° N, 84.40642° W define its horizontal position within the NGS database. Trig stations function as monumented reference points to which surveyors reference local surveys and engineering work. Verification and documentation of such points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic network. Users of this station should consult current NGS records to confirm its condition, recovery status, and any relevant access restrictions or monumentation details before field application.
