This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points establishing the fundamental reference framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located near Salt Lake City, Utah, at coordinates 40.79914° N, 111.91672° W, this triangulation point serves as a precise positional reference for regional surveys and engineering projects. Trig stations of this type were historically established to create a hierarchy of accurate control upon which subsequent local surveys depend. Their geodetic value remains significant for verification of survey work, mapping applications, and establishing local control networks. The continued documentation and recovery of such benchmarks supports the integrity of the National Spatial Reference System and ensures consistency in surveying practices across jurisdictional boundaries. Professional surveyors rely upon confirmed locations of these reference points for modern positioning work.
