This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Trigonometric stations such as this serve as fixed control points for horizontal positioning, enabling surveyors and cartographers to reference their work to a consistent national coordinate system. Located in Carbon County, Wyoming at coordinates 41.48654° N, 107.06653° W, this benchmark contributes to the regional network of control points spanning the Rocky Mountain region. Trig stations of this type were historically established through precise angular and distance measurements between intervisible points across the landscape. For surveying professionals, verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for maintaining network integrity, assessing datum transformations, and establishing reliable references for local projects. Current coordinate and elevation data support modern positioning applications and ensure continuity of the national geodetic infrastructure.
