This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Oakland, California at coordinates 37.82611°N, 122.25750°W, this trig point serves as a control station for high-accuracy surveying and mapping operations. Triangulation stations function as horizontal control points, enabling surveyors to reference their local measurements to the national datum. Such monuments provide essential ground truth for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work across their respective regions. The Bay Area's dense development and ongoing infrastructure projects make accessible control points particularly valuable for maintaining survey accuracy. Verification and documentation of benchmark positions ensure the integrity of the geodetic network and support continuity of precise positioning data for future surveying efforts and spatial reference applications.
