This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Triangulation stations serve as precisely positioned reference points for geodetic and surveying operations, enabling accurate determination of horizontal positions for subsequent mapping and engineering projects. Located near Denver, Colorado, this point is situated within the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains. The station's coordinates are recorded at 39.81750° North latitude and 104.78389° West longitude. Triangulation stations of this type typically consist of a monumented point with associated reference marks, providing surveyors and geodetic professionals with stable control for their work. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveying professionals requiring reliable positional control, particularly in areas where ground surveys or boundary determinations are necessary. Maintaining accurate records of these points supports continued use of the NGS control network.
