This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's foundational control network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Trig stations serve as primary horizontal control points, positioned to be mutually visible and suitable for precise angular measurements in classical triangulation work. Located in Michigan at approximately 46.32°N, 84.13°W, this benchmark contributes to regional geodetic infrastructure in the northern Lower Peninsula area. The point's elevation was not recorded in available documentation. Triangulation stations of this era remain valuable reference points for modern surveying applications, GIS implementation, and validation of contemporary positioning networks. Professional surveyors should verify the physical monument's current condition and recovery details before reliance in precision work. Documentation and recovery of such control points preserves the continuity of the nation's spatial reference systems.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.

Is this point verified and usable for professional surveying?

This record has been community-verified 0 times. Data quality depends on the source: NGS and official national agency points are typically centimetre-accurate, OpenStreetMap survey points are metre-accurate, and GeoNames topographic landmarks (peaks, hills) are reference-grade only. Always cross-reference with the original agency datasheet before using this point for cadastral, legal, or safety-critical work.

Original source: this record was imported from ngs_public. Always refer to the original datasheet for the most up-to-date and authoritative data.
