This geodetic benchmark is a triangulation station within the NGS network, the primary authority maintaining the United States' horizontal and vertical control infrastructure. Located in Detour Township, Michigan, at coordinates 46.00500°, -84.07250°, this trig point serves as a precise reference for surveying and mapping operations across the region. Triangulation stations establish accurate horizontal positions through intersecting sight lines between elevated points. Such monuments are fundamental to cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic accuracy. The NGS systematically maintains these control points to ensure consistency in local and regional surveying work. Verification and documentation of benchmark locations remains essential for professional surveyors and engineers relying on established geodetic control. Even where elevation data remains unreported, the horizontal coordinates provide valuable reference for positioning work in the Upper Peninsula region.
