MELVIN — NGS KK1689 — Aurora, US

This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the geometric foundation for surveying and mapping across the United States. As a trig point, this benchmark served to control horizontal positioning through triangulation methods, providing precise reference coordinates for subsequent survey work and geographic data collection. Located near Aurora, Colorado, at coordinates 39.64051° N, 104.81099° W, this station contributes to the geodetic control infrastructure for the Denver metropolitan region. Surveyors and engineers rely on such reference points to ensure accuracy and consistency in property boundary determinations, engineering projects, and spatial data products. Verification and documentation of existing benchmarks remain valuable for the surveying community. These points enable quality assurance checks, support modernization efforts, and preserve historical survey investments. Their continued cataloging supports both contemporary surveying operations and long-term geodetic research.
