This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network that forms the foundational control for horizontal positioning across the United States. Located near Redmond, Washington at coordinates 47.67722°N, 122.10639°W, this trig point serves as a reference station for surveying and mapping operations throughout the Puget Sound region. Triangulation stations of this type historically supported large-scale geodetic networks through intervisible sight lines. Modern surveyors and GIS professionals rely on documented benchmark locations to establish accurate survey control, verify GPS/GNSS data, and maintain consistency across mapping projects. Verification and proper documentation of such points remains valuable for professional surveyors, as these stations anchor local and regional survey networks. Recording station characteristics and accessibility information supports continued utility of the NGS control network for contemporary surveying and geospatial applications in the Pacific Northwest.
