This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the foundation for precise surveying and mapping across the United States. Located in Coconino County, Arizona, near coordinates 36.07144°, -112.15462°, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal control in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically established to create networks of known positions from which surveyors could conduct local measurements and mapping projects. The NGS maintains records of these monuments to support ongoing surveying work, property boundary determination, and geographic information system applications. Verification and documentation of such control points remain valuable for surveyors requiring accurate reference positions. The preservation of benchmark data ensures continuity in surveying standards and supports both public and private surveying operations. Current coordinate information and monument condition reporting help maintain the utility of these geodetic references for contemporary surveying practice.
