CHICKEN — NGS PY1230 — Teton County, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's legacy network, which established the foundation for horizontal control across the United States. Located in Teton County, Wyoming, at coordinates 44.21145° N, 110.39027° W, this trig point served as a fixed reference for surveying and mapping operations. Triangulation stations of this type were positioned at elevated or strategically visible locations to enable sightline measurements between stations, forming networks of known positions. Such points remain valuable to the surveying profession for verifying historical surveys, establishing local control networks, and understanding the evolution of geodetic infrastructure. Documentation and periodic field verification of these benchmarks help maintain the integrity of the positional reference framework upon which property boundaries, engineering projects, and spatial analysis depend.
