This triangulation station is part of the NGS network that forms the foundational geodetic infrastructure of the United States. Trig points serve as primary control stations, establishing precise horizontal positioning references for surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across their respective regions. Located in Davis County, Utah, at coordinates 40.88593° N, 111.94927° W, this benchmark contributes to the spatial control network for the northern portion of the state. The station's position enables surveyors and geospatial professionals to reference their local measurements to the national coordinate system. Documentation and verification of trig points remains essential for maintaining survey accuracy and continuity. As geodetic infrastructure ages, periodic checks of benchmark condition and accessibility ensure their continued utility for both legacy and contemporary surveying work. This record supports professional practice standards and coordinates projects requiring reliable positional references.
