This triangulation station is part of the NGS network, which establishes the primary geodetic framework for the United States. Located in Carbon County, Wyoming at coordinates 41.14154°N, 107.30137°W, this trig point serves as a control station for surveying and mapping activities across the region. Triangulation stations function as fixed reference points with precisely determined horizontal positions. These monuments support land surveying, engineering projects, and spatial data collection by providing accurate control for secondary survey work. The NGS network represents decades of systematic positioning effort that forms the foundation for cadastral surveys, infrastructure development, and geographic information systems throughout the country. Verification and documentation of such benchmarks remain essential for maintaining geodetic data integrity. Surveyors depend on confirmed positions of existing control points to establish local survey networks and ensure consistency across projects. This point contributes to the broader national geodetic infrastructure supporting public and private surveying activities.
