This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network of control points that form the foundation of horizontal positioning across the United States. Located near Kadoka, South Dakota, this trig point serves as a reference for establishing accurate coordinates in the central Great Plains region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide surveyors and mapping professionals with monumented positions of known geographic location. Such points enable precise cadastral surveys, infrastructure projects, and cartographic work across areas lacking natural or artificial landmarks of sufficient prominence. The coordinates 43.83608°N, 101.52283°W place this benchmark in the western portions of South Dakota. Verification and documentation of existing NGS control points remain valuable for land surveying professionals and geodetic practitioners, particularly in regions where density of modern positioning infrastructure may be limited. Maintaining records of these monuments supports continuity in surveying practice and geographic reference systems.
