This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points established to provide accurate positional references across the United States. Located in Carbon County, Wyoming, at coordinates 41.02919° N, 107.57453° W, this trig point serves as a fundamental control station for surveying and mapping activities in the region. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and incorporated into the NGS database to establish a geodetic framework supporting cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and cartographic work. The point's location in Wyoming's terrain makes it valuable for maintaining positional accuracy across a sparsely controlled area. Verification and documentation of existing benchmark marks remain important for contemporary surveying professionals. Confirming the continued existence, condition, and coordinates of these reference points ensures the integrity of historical survey networks and supports modern GPS and terrestrial surveys that may require ties to established control.
