This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundation of the United States' geodetic reference system. Triangulation stations serve as control points for large-scale surveying operations and mapping activities across the country. Located in southwestern Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh, this benchmark provides horizontal control for regional surveying work. The station's coordinates establish its precise location within the national coordinate system, enabling surveyors and engineers to reference subsequent surveys and construction projects with accuracy. Triangulation points like this one were systematically established to create a network of known positions across the landscape. While elevation data has not been recorded for this particular point, its horizontal coordinates remain valuable for professional surveying applications. Regular verification and documentation of such control points ensures the integrity of the geodetic network and supports accurate land surveying, engineering projects, and geographic information systems throughout the region.
