NGS Triangulation Station, Carbon County, Wyoming This triangulation (trig) station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which establishes horizontal and vertical control points essential to the nation's surveying and mapping infrastructure. Positioned at 41.39875° North, 107.37798° West in Carbon County, Wyoming, this point was established to serve as a precise reference for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographical documentation across the region. Trig stations of this type function as fixed positions in the horizontal control network, enabling surveyors to conduct accurate measurements and establish local coordinate systems with confidence. The station's documented coordinates make it valuable for verification of survey work and for constraining modern positioning technologies to the established geodetic datum. Documentation and preservation of such control points remain critical to survey professionals, as these monuments provide foundational references for property boundary work, infrastructure development, and long-term spatial data consistency. Verification of this point's physical condition and mark integrity is recommended for continued utility in professional surveying applications.
