This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which maintains the fundamental geodetic control infrastructure for the United States. Trig points of this type serve as horizontal control stations, established to support surveying, mapping, and engineering projects requiring precise geographic reference. Located in the vicinity of Fresno, California at coordinates 36.73487° N, 119.79082° W, this benchmark contributes to regional positional accuracy across California's Central Valley. The station's elevation has not been formally recorded in available documentation. Triangulation stations function as intervisible points that allow surveyors to establish and verify positions through classical geodetic methods. Documentation and periodic verification of such control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of surveying networks, supporting infrastructure development, and ensuring consistency across cadastral and engineering surveys throughout the region.

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.
