This is a triangulation station (trig point) within the National Geodetic Survey network, which forms the foundation of the United States' horizontal and vertical control infrastructure. Located near Chicago, Illinois at 41.98443°N, 87.65037°W with an ellipsoidal elevation of 145.1 meters, this point serves as a precise reference for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across the region. Trig stations of this class were established to provide accurate geodetic control through intervisible networks, enabling surveyors to reference local work to the national datum. Documentation and periodic verification of such points remain important for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic framework, particularly as surveying standards evolve and coordinate systems are refined. This benchmark contributes to the long-term stability of spatial reference systems essential for infrastructure, land administration, and scientific applications.
