This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of the United States' horizontal geodetic datum. Located near Kansas City, Missouri at coordinates 39.13071°N, 94.47784°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for surveyors, mapmakers, and engineers requiring accurate positional data. Trig stations of this type were established to provide monumented reference points with precisely determined coordinates. They enable local surveys to be tied into the national geodetic framework, ensuring consistency across mapping projects and construction efforts. The point's location in an urbanized region makes it particularly valuable for metropolitan area surveys. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remains important for maintaining the integrity of the geodetic network. Even points with incomplete elevation records contribute essential horizontal control to surveying operations throughout their region.
