This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes the foundational horizontal control for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Trig stations serve as precisely positioned reference points used to support cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geospatial data collection across regional areas. Located near Salt Lake City, Utah, at coordinates 40.74833° N, 112.02500° W, this point contributes to the geodetic framework for the Intermountain West. Triangulation stations of this type were historically observed and computed to provide accurate positional control before the advent of satellite-based systems. Documentation and verification of such benchmarks remain valuable for surveyors and engineers who require reliable reference points tied to the national datum. Maintenance of these records supports continuity in surveying practices and helps preserve institutional knowledge regarding regional control networks.
