This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's foundational network, which establishes the geometric framework for mapping and surveying across the United States. Located in South Dakota near Kadoka at coordinates 43.83416°N, 101.50961°W, this trig point represents a control station used historically for horizontal positioning in regional surveys. Triangulation stations serve as reference points from which surveyors measure distances and angles to establish accurate spatial relationships across landscapes. The NGS network remains essential infrastructure for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks is critical for professional surveyors who depend on reliable control points. While elevation data for this particular station is not currently recorded in available documentation, the horizontal coordinates provide valuable reference information for surveying operations in the Black Hills region of South Dakota.
