This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which establishes fundamental reference points for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in Haakon County, South Dakota, at coordinates 44.07264° N, 101.86545° W, this trig point serves as a positional reference for local and regional surveys. Triangulation stations of this type have historically provided accurate control for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and map production. The NGS network remains essential for maintaining geodetic consistency across jurisdictions and survey epochs. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks—including precise coordinate recovery and condition assessment—supports the integrity of the national spatial reference system and ensures that future surveys can reliably reference historical control work. Field professionals conducting surveys in this region should verify current monument status through official NGS records.
