This trigonometric station is part of the NGS network, which establishes and maintains the geodetic framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Trig stations serve as precise control points for horizontal positioning, enabling surveyors and cartographers to reference their work to a unified national coordinate system. Located in Detour Township, Michigan, at coordinates 45.96755°N, 84.10089°W, this benchmark contributes to regional survey networks in the Great Lakes region. The absence of recorded elevation data indicates either historical documentation gaps or that vertical control was not established at this particular station. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for confirming the integrity of existing survey networks and supporting contemporary geospatial projects. Surveyors conducting work in this area may reference this station when establishing local control networks or validating positional accuracy.
