This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of horizontal control points established to support the Nation's surveying and mapping infrastructure. Trigonometric stations serve as precise reference points for geodetic measurements and are typically located at elevated or strategically visible locations to facilitate sight lines for triangulation work. Located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, this benchmark contributes to the regional geodetic framework in the Denver metropolitan area. The station's coordinates, expressed in latitude and longitude, define its horizontal position within the national datum. Documentation and verification of such control points remain essential for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geospatial databases. Surveyors and engineers rely on these established reference stations when conducting local or regional work requiring connection to higher-order geodetic networks.
