This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the fundamental horizontal control framework for the United States. Situated near Ward, Arkansas, at coordinates 35.02389° North latitude and 91.95667° West longitude, this trig point served as a reference station for classical surveying operations and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were positioned to provide precise spatial reference points accessible to surveyors conducting boundary work, infrastructure development, and topographic mapping. The point's location within Arkansas places it within the Mississippi River drainage system, an area historically important for land surveying and resource management. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for confirming historical survey accuracy, establishing control networks for modern surveying projects, and maintaining geodetic continuity. Professional surveyors rely on the integrity of archived reference points when conducting new surveys or evaluating existing survey work.
