This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the geometric foundation for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Raber Township in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this trig point serves as a reference for determining accurate horizontal and vertical positions of surveyed features across the region. Triangulation stations function as fixed control points in geodetic networks, enabling surveyors and cartographers to tie local surveys to the national coordinate system. The ellipsoidal elevation of 170.2 meters provides vertical control information referenced to the geometric shape of Earth. Documentation and periodic verification of such points preserves the integrity of the geodetic infrastructure upon which land surveys, engineering projects, and geographic data depend. Surveyors rely on these established benchmarks to maintain accuracy and consistency in spatial measurements throughout their work.
