This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic framework for the United States. Situated near Raber Township in Michigan at coordinates 45.98972°N, 84.23500°W, this trig point serves as a horizontal control reference for surveying and mapping activities. Triangulation stations of this type have historically provided precise positional control across large areas, enabling surveyors to conduct accurate measurements for property boundaries, engineering projects, and cartographic products. The point's location in the northern Lower Peninsula region contributes to the broader North American geodetic datum infrastructure. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveyors conducting high-precision work, particularly when establishing local control networks or conducting cadastral surveys. Modern geodetic practices benefit from accessing historical control points, even when elevation data may be incomplete or unavailable in existing records.
