This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. As a trigonometric station, this point was established to provide precise horizontal control by serving as an observation point for triangulation measurements connecting to other control stations across the region. Located in El Paso County, Colorado, this benchmark contributes to the broader NGS network that supports cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining the integrity of the nation's geodetic infrastructure. Surveyors and engineers rely on accurate recovery and reobservation of established stations to ensure consistency in their work and to detect any potential ground movement or monument displacement over time.
