This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that establish the foundational framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Situated in the Seattle, Washington vicinity at coordinates 47.71873°, -122.27877°, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal control. Trigonometric stations of this type are traditionally positioned at elevated or strategically visible locations to enable sight lines between multiple control points. Such stations form the backbone of regional surveying operations, supporting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work. Verification and documentation of these reference points remains essential to maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Even when original establishment details are not fully recorded, confirming the continued existence and accessibility of such benchmarks provides value to the surveying community and supports the accurate georeferencing of future work in the region.
