This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the fundamental geodetic control for surveying and mapping across the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as precise horizontal reference points, enabling surveyors and engineers to conduct accurate measurements and coordinate determinations over extended areas. Located near Rawlins, Wyoming at latitude 41.79358° N and longitude 107.24223° W, this point anchors positional control in the southern Wyoming region. The coordinates represent its documented horizontal position within the National Spatial Reference System. As with all NGS control points, verification and documentation of this station's current condition and accessibility supports the integrity of the national geodetic framework. Surveyors undertaking projects in the vicinity benefit from established reference monuments that provide reliable horizontal datum ties, reducing survey costs and improving positional accuracy in subsequent work.
