This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, the primary system of geodetic control points maintained by the United States National Geodetic Survey. Positioned near Nashville, Tennessee, at coordinates 36.16972° N, 86.78444° W, this trig point serves as a reference for surveying and mapping operations across the region. Triangulation stations of this type historically formed the backbone of horizontal control networks, established through precise angular measurements between intervisible monuments. Such points provide essential reference data for surveyors, engineers, and geospatial professionals conducting boundary surveys, construction projects, and cartographic work. Verification and documentation of existing geodetic monuments remains valuable for maintaining the integrity of the survey network. Even points with incomplete records contribute to the broader framework of geodetic infrastructure supporting civil engineering and land administration throughout the United States.
