This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's control network, which provides the fundamental geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at coordinates 40.02308° N, 75.13563° W, this trig point serves as a reference monument for local and regional surveys. The ellipsoidal elevation of 6.8 meters reflects the point's position relative to the reference ellipsoid. Trig stations of this type were historically established to support precise distance and angle measurements across geographic areas. Modern surveyors and engineers rely on documented control points to ensure accuracy in property boundary definition, infrastructure development, and spatial data integration. Verification and maintenance of such benchmarks remains essential to preserving the integrity of the national geodetic infrastructure and supporting contemporary positioning applications.
