# WEST 1932 — NGS KU3861 — New York, US WEST 1932 (NGS designation KU3861) is a triangulation station located in New York at 40.8241°N, 73.8415°W, with an established elevation of 4.0 meters. This primary triangulation point supports high-precision geodetic control work including static GNSS observation sessions for network densification, RTK positioning validation, and differential leveling operations. The station's published NAD83 coordinates and elevation make it suitable as a reference control point for large-scale surveys, mapping projects, and local coordinate system establishment. Field crews should verify monumentation condition and skyline clearance prior to observations. Consult current NGS datasheets and CORS network stations for optimal survey design and quality assurance procedures.
