This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Trig points serve as precisely positioned control stations used to support surveying, mapping, and engineering projects across regional and national scales. Located in Jackson County, South Dakota, at coordinates 43.83739° North, 101.58182° West, this benchmark contributes to the horizontal control network in the northern Great Plains region. Trig stations of this type typically feature durable monuments and were historically occupied during triangulation campaigns to create intervisible networks of known positions. For surveying professionals, verification and documentation of such reference points remain essential for maintaining geodetic datum integrity and enabling accurate local surveys. Recovery and confirmation of existing control monuments supports continuity in spatial reference systems and reduces costs for contemporary survey work.

Geodetic context in United States

The national geodetic reference in United States is maintained by National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The active datum is NAD83(2011) / NATRF2022 (active). Coordinates shown on this page are expressed in WGS84 (ETRF/ITRF-compatible) which is directly usable in most modern GNSS receivers. For cadastral work in United States you may need to convert to the local datum using the Coordinate Hub.
