This trigonometric station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's horizontal control network, which establishes the foundational reference frame for surveying and mapping activities throughout the United States. Located near Clayton, Missouri, at coordinates 38.64961° N, 90.33879° W with an ellipsoidal elevation of 199.2 meters, this point serves as a precise spatial reference for cadastral surveys, engineering projects, and geographic information systems. Trig stations of this classification are established at carefully selected locations, typically on elevated terrain or prominent structures, to provide intervisible control points for network densification. The NGS maintains such monuments to support the National Spatial Reference System, enabling consistent coordinate determination across jurisdictional boundaries. Proper documentation and periodic verification of benchmark positions ensure data integrity for dependent surveys and realization of current geodetic datums. This point contributes to the institutional knowledge necessary for long-term surveying accuracy and infrastructure development in the region.
