This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's classical trig network, which forms a foundational component of the United States' geodetic infrastructure. Located in Coconino County, Arizona, at coordinates 35.82040° N, 112.08979° W, this point serves as a horizontal control reference for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations of this type were established to create accurate positional frameworks for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic data collection. The benchmark's designation within the NGS network indicates it has been incorporated into the national system of geodetic control. Verification and documentation of such points remain valuable for surveyors requiring established horizontal datum references, particularly in areas where modern positioning infrastructure may be limited or where historical consistency with prior surveys is necessary. Maintaining records of these monuments supports continuity in surveying practice and geodetic accuracy.
