NGS Triangulation Station This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network that forms the foundational control for positioning, mapping, and surveying activities across the United States. Located near Denver, Colorado at coordinates 39.77750° N, 104.95944° W, this point serves as a horizontal reference for establishing accurate positions of other survey marks and geographic features within its region. Triangulation stations function as primary control points in classical geodetic networks, enabling surveyors and engineers to extend precise measurements over large areas. Their documented positions and monumentation provide stable references for property surveys, infrastructure development, and cartographic work. Verification and periodic documentation of such benchmarks remain important for maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic framework. Users of these reference points should consult current NGS records to confirm accessibility, condition, and the most recent coordinate determinations available for this location.
