14 MDC — NGS PY1002 — Park County, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Park County, Wyoming, at coordinates 44.77694° N, 110.45889° W, this trig point serves as a control station for horizontal position referencing. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide accurate ground control for large-scale surveys and cartographic projects. Such points are typically positioned at elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate sightline observations between multiple stations. For contemporary surveying work, verifying and documenting existing geodetic monuments remains valuable. Accurate position information enables surveyors to establish local control networks, validate modern GPS observations, and maintain continuity with historical survey data. Care in locating and recording these reference points supports the ongoing integrity of the nation's spatial infrastructure.
