Triangulation \Tri*an`gu*la"tion\, n. [Cf. F. triangulation.]
   (Surv.)
   The series or network of triangles into which the face of a
   country, or any portion of it, is divided in a
   trigonometrical survey; the operation of measuring the
   elements necessary to determine the triangles into which the
   country to be surveyed is supposed to be divided, and thus to
   fix the positions and distances of the several points
   connected by them.

     2: a method of surveying; the area is divided into triangles
