This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network supporting the foundation of horizontal and vertical control across the United States. Located near Juneau, Alaska, at coordinates 58.35239°N, 134.55480°W and an ellipsoidal elevation of 8.8 meters, this trig point serves as a reference for surveying, mapping, and geospatial projects throughout the region. Triangulation stations function as monumented positions of precisely determined location and elevation, enabling surveyors and engineers to establish local coordinate systems and validate measurements. The Alaska positioning is particularly valuable given the challenges of geodetic control in remote areas. Documentation and periodic verification of such benchmarks maintain the integrity of the national spatial reference system and support critical infrastructure development, emergency response coordination, and scientific research requiring accurate positional data.
