This triangulation station represents a component of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which forms the foundational infrastructure for surveying and mapping activities across the United States. Located near Kittery, Maine at coordinates 43.09263° N, 70.73520° W, this trig point served as a reference station in the NGS's systematic triangulation efforts. Triangulation stations of this type provide precise horizontal positional control for surveyors, cartographers, and engineers undertaking local and regional projects. Their positions are established through carefully measured angles and distances, creating a framework upon which more detailed surveys depend. Documentation and verification of benchmark locations remain valuable for maintaining survey accuracy over time. As land surveying practices evolve and new positioning technologies supplement traditional methods, confirming the continued existence and condition of established control points ensures continuity in geodetic records and supports the integrity of spatial data infrastructure.
