This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational vertical and horizontal control for the United States. Trig stations serve as primary reference points for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across their respective regions. Located in El Paso County, Colorado, this benchmark contributes to geodetic infrastructure in the Front Range area. As a trig point, it was established to provide accurate positional data for subsequent surveys and construction activities. The documented coordinates enable surveyors and engineers to reference their local measurements against the national datum. Verification and maintenance of such control points remain essential for ensuring accuracy in modern surveying practices, GIS applications, and infrastructure development. The absence of recorded elevation data underscores the importance of field documentation standards in preserving the complete utility of benchmark networks.
