This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental geodetic control for the United States. As a trig point, this station served as a primary control station for horizontal positioning and was typically established at elevated locations to facilitate reciprocal sightings with other stations across regional survey networks. Located near Sammamish, Washington at coordinates 47.55960°, -122.04091°, this point contributes to the geodetic framework supporting surveying, mapping, and infrastructure projects throughout the Pacific Northwest. Trig stations of this era formed the backbone of precise horizontal control before GPS became prevalent. Documentation and verification of such monuments remain valuable for historical research, datum transformation studies, and validation of legacy survey data. Professional surveyors continue to reference these points when establishing local control networks or reconciling older survey records with contemporary positioning methods.
