This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of reference points that form the foundation of horizontal control throughout the United States. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to support large-scale surveying operations and mapping efforts across the country. Located in the Unorganized Borough of Alaska at approximately 58.26°N, 134.73°W, this point serves as a geodetic reference for regional surveys and positioning activities. The station's coordinates have been determined and maintained as part of NGS's ongoing commitment to establishing accurate control networks for civilian and government surveying applications. Verification and documentation of such benchmark locations remain valuable for surveyors, engineers, and cartographers requiring precise horizontal control. The point contributes to the broader geodetic framework supporting infrastructure development, land management, and spatial data applications throughout Alaska and beyond.
