This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes and maintains the fundamental control framework for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Located in King County, Washington, at coordinates 47.70889° N, 121.98444° W, this trig point serves as a reference station for horizontal geodetic control. Triangulation stations of this type were established to provide accurate positional references for surveyors, engineers, and cartographers. The point's documented location enables surveyors to verify measurements, establish local control networks, and ensure consistency across boundary surveys and infrastructure projects. Verification and maintenance of such control points remain essential for modern surveying practice. Even where elevation data may not be recorded, horizontal coordinates provide valuable reference information. Professional surveyors periodically document these monuments to confirm their continued existence and accessibility, supporting the integrity of the geodetic network.
