This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's classical control network, which provides the foundational horizontal and vertical reference framework for surveying and mapping across the United States. Located near Seattle, Washington at coordinates 47.68402° N, 122.25123° W, this trig point was established to support geodetic measurements and triangulation work in the Puget Sound region. Triangulation stations of this type typically served as intervisible reference marks for surveyors conducting large-scale positional surveys and establishing local control networks. The point's precise horizontal coordinates remain valuable for verification of modern surveys, GPS observations, and cartographic projects in the area. Although elevation data is not currently recorded in available documentation, confirmation and documentation of such benchmark positions contributes to the continuity and reliability of the nation's surveying infrastructure. Surveyors working in this region should verify the current condition and accessibility of this control point.
