This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which forms the foundation of the United States' horizontal control system. Trig stations serve as precise reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across the country. Located near Commerce City, Colorado, at coordinates 39.84500° N, 104.91056° W, this benchmark contributes to geodetic observations in the Front Range region. The triangulation network relies on intervisibility between stations and precise angular measurements to establish accurate positions. Documentation and periodic verification of such points maintain the integrity of the national spatial reference system, enabling reliable cadastral surveys, infrastructure development, and geographic information systems. Professional surveyors depend on these control points to establish local project frameworks with known accuracy and consistency relative to the national datum.
