This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's control network, which provides the foundational reference framework for surveying and mapping activities throughout the United States. Triangulation stations serve as precisely positioned monuments used to establish horizontal control for professional surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Located in King County, Washington, this benchmark contributes to the regional geodetic infrastructure of the Pacific Northwest. The coordinates 47.70861°, -122.00556° identify its position within the NAD83 or related reference system maintained by NGS. Verification and documentation of such control points remain essential for surveyors and geospatial professionals requiring accurate reference data. Even benchmarks with incomplete records—such as this point lacking recorded elevation data—retain significant value for horizontal positioning work and for establishing continuity within the broader survey control network.
