2S2W 2401 — NGS LP0388 — West Jordan, US

This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the backbone of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Located near West Jordan, Utah, at coordinates 40.62406°N, 112.00542°W, this benchmark serves as a fundamental control point for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Trig stations like this were historically established to provide precise horizontal positional control through intersecting sight lines. Such points remain valuable reference marks for professional surveyors, cartographers, and engineers undertaking cadastral, construction, and geographic information system work. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks are essential for maintaining the integrity of surveying networks and ensuring consistency in local and regional projects. Even when elevation data is absent, the horizontal coordinates provide significant utility for establishing relationships between survey observations and the national datum.
