This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic control framework for the United States. Located near Monroe, Washington at coordinates 47.85475° N, 121.97397° W, this trig point serves as a reference station for survey operations and mapping activities across its region. Triangulation stations function as monumented ground control points, enabling surveyors and cartographers to establish accurate horizontal positions for subsequent surveys and geographic information systems. The NGS network remains essential infrastructure for civil engineering projects, land boundary determination, and spatial data development. Documentation and periodic verification of benchmark locations and monumentation condition contribute significantly to maintaining the integrity of the national geodetic system. Such control points provide reproducible reference positions for both professional surveying and scientific applications requiring positional accuracy.
