This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the foundational geodetic control for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Juneau, Alaska, this trig point serves as a reference monument for horizontal position control in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to create networks of known coordinates across the landscape, enabling surveyors to reference their local work to a consistent national datum. The station's coordinates (58.27238°, -134.35182°) reflect its surveyed position. For professionals conducting fieldwork in southeast Alaska, verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for quality assurance, especially given the remote nature of many Alaskan survey areas. Maintaining accurate records of existing monuments helps support both modern survey projects and GPS network densification efforts in the region.
