This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental reference framework for surveying, mapping, and spatial positioning across the United States. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned control points used to support terrestrial surveys and to maintain the geometric accuracy of surveyed data. Located near Albuquerque, New Mexico, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic control in the Rio Grande valley area. The coordinates 35.08333°N, 106.69361°W place this point within the New Mexico survey network, where such stations facilitate local and state mapping projects. The importance of documenting and verifying established control points lies in ensuring continuity of surveying standards and enabling future surveyors to reference previously established positions. Maintenance of benchmark records, including periodic condition assessments, supports the long-term integrity of the nation's geodetic infrastructure.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
