This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points used to support large-scale surveying operations, property boundary determinations, and cartographic work. Located in Jackson County, South Dakota at coordinates 43.85028°N, 101.80000°W, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic control in the Great Plains. As a trig point, it historically functioned as a vertex in triangulation networks, enabling surveyors to extend precise measurements across expansive areas with efficiency. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for maintaining survey accuracy standards and ensuring consistency in spatial data. Surveying professionals rely on established benchmarks to validate modern positioning technologies and preserve the integrity of cadastral records. Elevation data for this station should be obtained from NGS records or field verification if required for specific applications.
