This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational control for precise positioning and surveying activities throughout the United States. Located near Juneau, Alaska at coordinates 58.33993°N, 134.59500°W, this trig point serves as a reference for horizontal control in southeastern Alaska's geodetic framework. Triangulation stations of this class are essential survey monuments, providing stable, monumented positions from which surveyors and geodesists can conduct accurate measurements and establish local control networks. In remote areas such as coastal Alaska, such points prove particularly valuable for supporting mapping, engineering projects, and land management activities. The verification and documentation of existing control points strengthens the integrity of the national geodetic network and ensures the reliability of survey work dependent upon these references. Maintaining accurate records of benchmark locations and their physical condition supports continued access to this critical infrastructure.
