This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which comprises fundamental control points supporting the Nation's surveying and mapping infrastructure. Located near Chicago, Illinois at coordinates 41.79375° N, 87.64738° W, this trig point serves as a reference for establishing horizontal positions with high accuracy across regional surveys and engineering projects. Triangulation stations function as fixed monuments from which surveyors establish sight lines to distant points, enabling precise distance and angle measurements. The NGS maintains records of thousands of such points nationwide, documenting their positions and physical condition. Verification and documentation of control points remains essential for surveying professionals undertaking boundary determinations, construction projects, and cartographic work. Periodic inspection confirms monument stability and accessibility, preserving the integrity of the geodetic network for current and future surveying operations in the Chicago metropolitan area and surrounding regions.
