This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Independence, Missouri, at coordinates 39.07889° N, 94.42000° W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for regional and local surveys. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide precise positional control across the nation's landscape. They function as fixed reference points from which surveyors can conduct accurate measurements for property boundaries, infrastructure projects, and cartographic work. Verification and documentation of geodetic benchmarks remain essential for survey professionals who require reliable datum points. Even where elevation data are not recorded, the horizontal coordinates provide critical control information. Maintaining detailed records of such points supports the continuity and accuracy of surveying operations in the region and contributes to the broader geodetic infrastructure upon which numerous engineering and scientific applications depend.
