NGS Triangulation Station, Arapahoe County, Colorado This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's classical survey network that establishes the geometric framework for the North American datum. Located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, at coordinates 39.60571° N, 104.57861° W, the point serves as a horizontal control reference for regional and local surveying operations. Trig stations of this classification historically provided precise positioning data through intervisible networks established via optical theodolite observations. Such points remain valuable as validation benchmarks for modern positioning technologies including GPS and terrestrial surveys. Verification and documentation of existing NGS monuments supports the continuity of the geodetic infrastructure and enables surveyors to maintain measurement consistency across jurisdictional and temporal boundaries. Current condition assessment and coordinate confirmation of this station contribute to maintaining data integrity within the national survey network.
