This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic reference framework for the United States. Located in King County, Washington at coordinates 47.51013° N, 121.87429° W, this trig point served the classical purpose of providing a precisely positioned control station for surveying operations and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were integral to the NGS's systematic development of horizontal control networks throughout the country. Such points enable surveyors and engineers to reference their local measurements to the national coordinate system with documented accuracy. The geographic location in western Washington provides control support for an area of significant development and infrastructure. Verification and maintenance of benchmark records, including documentation of point condition and accessibility, remains valuable for contemporary surveying practice and historical continuity of geodetic networks.
