This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the primary geodetic framework for the United States. Located near Chicago, Illinois, at coordinates 41.80223° N, 87.70030° W, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal control in regional surveying and mapping operations. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed to create networks of known positions across the country, enabling surveyors to reference their local work to a national coordinate system. The point's precise geographic location makes it valuable for establishing baselines in property surveys, infrastructure projects, and geographic information systems. Documentation and verification of such control points remain important for maintaining geodetic accuracy in areas where modern surveys must tie to established networks. The NGS benchmark registry preserves these reference points as part of the nation's surveying infrastructure.
