This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's legacy network, which establishes the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points for horizontal control, enabling surveyors and engineers to accurately locate features and conduct large-scale surveys. Located near Carnation, Washington, this benchmark occupies a strategic position within the Pacific Northwest geodetic infrastructure. The coordinates 47.64224°N, 121.91488°W place the point in a region requiring reliable spatial reference data for both public works and private surveying activities. Documentation and verification of such control points remain essential for maintaining survey accuracy standards. These monuments provide traceable connections to the national datum, supporting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Preserving accurate records of existing benchmarks protects against loss of institutional geodetic knowledge and supports continuity in regional surveying operations.
