This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the foundation for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, at coordinates 39.58722° N, 104.97861° W, this point serves as a reference marker for horizontal position control. Trig stations of this type were historically established to create a framework of accurately positioned points visible from distant locations, enabling surveyors to conduct large-scale mapping and boundary determinations. The NGS network remains essential infrastructure for modern surveying, construction, and geodetic work. Documentation and verification of such reference points preserve their utility for professional surveyors and engineers. Maintaining accurate records of benchmark locations and their attributes ensures continuity of spatial reference systems across time and supports precision work in land surveying, engineering projects, and geographic information systems.
