D 7 K — NGS KK0227 — Elbert County, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the geometric framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Triangulation (trig) stations serve as precisely positioned control points used to support land surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Located in Elbert County, Colorado, at coordinates 39.31194° N, 104.56417° W, this benchmark contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure. Trig stations typically occupy prominent terrain features selected for intervisibility with other control points, enabling accurate distance and angle measurements across large areas. Verification and documentation of existing geodetic monuments remains essential for surveyors and mapping professionals. These reference points provide stable spatial control when property boundaries, infrastructure projects, or scientific investigations require reliable coordinate data. Maintaining accurate records of such stations ensures their continued utility for future surveying activities.
