This is a triangulation station (trig point) within the National Geodetic Survey network, positioned near Chicago, Illinois. Triangulation stations of this type serve as primary control points for horizontal geodetic positioning across the United States. These monuments establish accurate reference coordinates for regional and local surveying operations, mapping projects, and engineering works. The NGS maintains such control points as part of the National Spatial Reference System, enabling surveyors and geospatial professionals to tie their measurements to a consistent national framework. The coordinates 41.93358° N, 87.71857° W place this station in the Chicago metropolitan region. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks like this one remain valuable for quality assurance in modern surveying, particularly when integrating legacy control networks with contemporary GPS and geodetic methods. Current condition and accessibility information should be confirmed through direct NGS registry consultation.
