This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Denver, Colorado at coordinates 39.67604° N, 104.95295° W, this point serves as a reference for horizontal positioning in the region. Trig stations like this one function as monumented ground control points essential for large-scale surveys, property boundary determinations, and geographic data collection. The NGS network comprises thousands of such points distributed nationally, each contributing to the coherent geometric foundation upon which engineering, construction, and cartographic work depends. Verification and documentation of existing benchmark locations remain valuable for surveyors requiring reliable control points. Practitioners should confirm current monumentation status and accessibility before incorporating such references into field operations.
