This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of geodetic infrastructure across the United States. Trig stations serve as primary reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects by establishing precisely located positions in three-dimensional space. Located in Detour Township, Michigan, at coordinates 45.99917° N, 84.04917° W, this benchmark contributes to regional positional control in the northern Lower Peninsula. Triangulation stations like this one were historically established through intervisible networks designed to provide accurate framework for cadastral surveys, transportation infrastructure, and land administration. Verification and documentation of such stations remain valuable for maintaining geodetic control quality, supporting GPS validation efforts, and enabling surveyors to connect modern measurements to historical datums. The continued accessibility and condition assessment of these points support both contemporary surveying practices and the integrity of the national spatial reference system.
