This triangulation station is part of the NGS geodetic control network, which establishes the foundational reference framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near East St. Louis, Illinois, at coordinates 38.60611°N, -90.16472°W, this trig point served as a horizontal control station in regional triangulation surveys. Trig stations of this type were established to provide precise positional references for subsequent surveying operations, including boundary determinations and infrastructure development. The point's location in the Illinois portion of the Mississippi River valley places it within an area of significant historical surveying activity. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remain important for maintaining geodetic continuity, validating legacy survey data, and supporting modern positioning applications that depend on accurately established reference networks.
