This triangulation station is part of the National Geodetic Survey's network, which provides the foundational control for surveying and mapping throughout the United States. Trigonometric stations serve as precisely positioned reference points established to support larger geodetic surveys and subsequent boundary determinations, engineering projects, and cartographic work. Located in southeastern Alaska within an Unorganized Borough at coordinates 58.34114°N, 134.83607°W, this benchmark contributes to the spatial reference framework for a region characterized by challenging terrain and limited infrastructure. The elevation for this monument has not been recorded in available documentation. Verification and proper documentation of such control points remain essential for surveying professionals and government agencies. Maintaining accurate records of these monuments supports the continuity of geodetic work, enables validation of survey-grade positioning systems, and provides institutional memory for future reference across generations of surveying practice.
